Cancer Radiation

Posts Tagged ‘ozone’

If the concentration of ozone were to decrease significantly, which of the following might also occur?

Less absorption of ultraviolet radiation in the stratosphere.
An Increase in the number of cases of skin cancer
The stratosphere would cool.
More ultraviolet radiation would be absorbed at the earths surface
Or all of the above?

study guide i need ansers for !!

8.the—-is the coldest layer of the atmosphere
a.troposphere b. mesosphere c. stratosphere d. thermosphere

9.to much exposure to——can cause skin cancer
a.chlorofluorocarbons b. ozone c.ultraviolet radiation d.jet streams

10.——-is the transfer of enery that occurs due to density differences in air.
a.radiation b.conduction c.conection d.absorption

11.the——-is caused by earth’s eastward rotation
a. jet stream b. coriolis effect c. sea breeze d. land breeze

12.the air above the——rises because it has low density and low pressure.
a.north pole b. south pole c.equator d.artic circle

13. steady winds at about 15 degrees North OR South of the equator are known as——–.
a.doldrums b.jet streams c. easterlies d. trade winds

14.chlorofluorocarbons may be harming the ozone layer by—–
a.adding more ozone molecules b. blocking ultra violet radiation c.deystroying ozone molecules d. increasing nitrogen molecules

i know there are tons and tons of reasons of why we shouldnt ratify it. but im doing a debate and am stuck with this side of the argument.

so far i have

that without a reduction of gas emission, the ozone layer will weaken, leaving our climate changed which could lead to melting ice caps, etc

we need to ensure our future, with weakening of the ozone, ultraviolet radiation will get through, increases disease such as skin cancer and economic losses such as crop damage.

i am in desperate need of another point

i know those two points are weak but im trying here and ANY HELP WITH BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.!

My science teacher is letting us teach the class on stuff she assigned us to do. We were assigned to do the ozone layer and stuff about it. Now we need to teach the class tomarrow and we have nothing. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on what activities to do like for example
In math they have
Please Exscuse My Dear Aunt Sally For Parenthesses Exponents Mutliplication Division Adding and Subtraction. If you guys could make something like that it would be very cool!!!

Here Is the paragraph we were assigned to:

An ozone molecule(03) is made up of three atoms of the element of oxygen. Your body uses regular oxygen gas (02), which two atoms of oxygen. In the stratosphere, ozone normally balance each other, so the cycle can repeat endlessly. Even though ozone is mixed with nytrogen and other gases, the ozone in the stratosphere is called ozone layer.
The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful Ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Too much Ultraviolet radiation can cause Sunburn, skin cancer and damage eyesight. Ultraviolet radiation can harm crops and material such as plastic or paint. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet radiation, such as visible light,pass through.

Please help me I could also use some activities so far we only have sharades but we dont now how to explain well but anything that we do we have to let the entire class do as well. Please Help Me Best Answer gets 10 points!! and something Extra!!!

The UV radiation can harm crops, animals, humans, and the enviroment, in what ways? Ex., skin cancer in people. I need a reliable source(s). If you can have links to reliable sources, pleaae.
