What if earth had no ozone layer?


Open in App
Solution

Ozone layer:

  1. The ozone layer absorbs the UV rays coming from the sun, which are considered to be the most harmful rays.
  2. Problems such as skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to animals and plants’ DNA would be way more likely in the absence of this layer.
  3. This is because the rays from the sun would reach the earth directly.
  4. It is even said that life would not exist had the ozone layer not been in place.
