Assertion:- ozone is formed in upper atmosphere by O2 in presence of UV radiations. Reason:- ozone depletion will lead to UV rays reaching earth which may cause skin cancer
Added by Stacy A.
Step 1
Ozone is formed in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) when oxygen molecules (O2) are split by ultraviolet (UV) radiation into individual oxygen atoms. These atoms can then combine with unbroken oxygen molecules to form ozone (O3). Show moreā¦

Assertion: Ozone in stratosphere is called good ozone. Reason: This ozone absorb UV-radiation coming from sun, thus act as shield.
Ozone is know to cause respiratory problems in humans and damage plants. However, the ozone layer provides protection for Earth. Explain where ozone is found, what it does, and what causes its depletion.
