Question

Ozone layer does not protect the earth's surface from excessive Ultra-violet radiations - True or False?

• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

UV rays - if they reach earth can damage the eyes by Corneal damage, cataracts, and macular degeneration. All are possible chronic effects from UV exposure and can ultimately lead to blindness. Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, can also develop on excess exposure to uv-rays. Thus, ozone layer helps to protect the earth surface from excessive UV radiation.
