The
Ozone Layer
And Ozone
What is Ozone?
A molecule containing three
atoms of oxygen is called ozone.
Ozone is very rare in our
atmosphere, averaging about
three molecules of ozone for every
10 million air molecules. In spite of
this small amount, ozone plays a
vital role in the atmosphere.
Where is ozone found in
the atmosphere?
Ozone is mainly found in two regions
of the Earth's atmosphere. Most ozone
(about 90%) resides in a layer that
begins between 6 and 10 miles (10 and
17 kilometers) above the Earth's
surface and extends up to about 30
miles (50 kilometers). This region of the
atmosphere is called the stratosphere.
The ozone in this region is commonly
known as the ozone layer.
What is the role of the ozone layer and
how are humans affected by it?

Why is this effect named
after a greenhouse?
A greenhouse is a structural building with
different types of covering materials, such as
a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or
plastic walls; it heats up because incoming
visible sunshine is absorbed inside the
structure. Air warmed by the heat from
warmed interior surfaces is retained in the
building by the roof and wall; the air that is
warmed near the ground is prevented
from rising indefinitely and flowing away.
This process in which the heat is trapped
within the greenhouse can be compared to
the way in which the heat radiations are
trapped in the earth’s atmosphere.
how to reduce greenhouse effect?
Green house effect is something that cannot be
prevented but can
be reduced. It can be reduced in the following ways:
1. By opting for greener technologies that are eco-
friendly.
2. By reducing emissions from automobiles, the
greenhouse gases can be reduced.
3. By preventing deforestation, because plants absorb
a great amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.
4. By using CFC-free refrigerators.
5. By reducing use of aerosols because they produce
CFCs.
Global Warming
Global warming refers to an unequivocal
and continuing rise in the average
temperature of Earth's climate system.
Most of global warming is being caused by
increasing concentrations of greenhouse
gases produced by human activities. Future
climate change and associated impacts
caused by global warming will vary from
region to region around the globe. Global
warming can be prevented by reducing the
emission of greenhouse gases.
Effects of Global Warming
• Increase in spread of disease.
• Warmer waters and more hurricanes.
• Increase in droughts and heat waves.
• Economic consequences.
• Melting of polar ice caps.
• Floods.
• Fires and wildfires.
• Storms.
• Death by smog.
• Desertification.
• Tsunamis.
• Cold waves.
• Increase in volcanic activities.
• Loss of biodiversity and animal extinction.
