  2. The Ozone/ Greenhouse Effect

  3. Ozone Layer Depletion • What is Ozone Layer? • A region of the upper atmosphere, between about 15 and 30 kilometers (10 and 20 miles) in altitude, containing a relatively high concentration of ozone that absorbs solar ultraviolet radiation in a wavelength range not screened by other atmospheric components. Also called ozonosphere.

  4. Ozone layer protects us from the ultraviolet rays. • But a very large ozone hole was discovered in the ozone layer over Antarctic. It is as large as 3 times the area of Australia.

  5. What is the greenhouse effect?

  6. GHG’s (Greenhouse Gases)
