The scorching sun
We can all testify to the fact that the sun these days has been very hot unlike the past 10 years, the heat in our houses can literally make one run outside to sleep lol, but it hasn't been like this before, why's it so hot now? Read through and know why.
The Ozone layer is a natural occuring covering of gas in the upper atmosphere that protects human and other living creatures from the direct ray of the sun, the ozone layer has a very small concentration in the upper atmosphere but about 90% of it exists in the stratosphere (i.e the second layer of the earth atmosphere), the first layer is the troposphere.
The Ozone layer primary and secondary job is to protect us from the ultraviolet ray and the heat from the sun which is extremely harmful to humans and life on Earth but now it is depleting and the sun is getting hot and slowly we're being exposed to the ray of the sun, although the depletion is always slow. The wavelength of the ray can cause sunburn, cancer, blindness and acid rain.
The main cause of the ozone layer depletion is as a result of the release of manufactured chemical such as foam blowing agents, halocarbon refrigerants and the rest into the atmosphere. These chemical are also known as Ozone Depleting substance. All these are produced from man's activities here on earth, smoke from foundry, release from Air Conditioner and Fridge, smoke from the dirt we burn in the street and release from our cars.
Although a body was put together to reduce the depletion of the ozone layer but it wasn't enough because it would be like stopping man's activities on Earth, the body put together is called Montreal Protocol and that was in 1987, but they did all they could and the depletion reduced well and the Ozone layer started recovering in 2000, but ever since then it stopped.
Effect of the ultraviolet ray of the sun on Humans
It causes cancer and increases sunburn, permanent blindness, acidic rain and eye cataract.
Effects on plants
These rays affect the growth on plants and hereby the plants gets implicated with some diseases and eventually end up dieing.
The depletion also affects the marine body, the biogeochemical cycle, even raw materials as well.
Closing Thoughts
The heat from the sun is as a result of the depletion of the ozone layer and the depletion is caused by man's activities and the effect of the depletion is very bad on existence of living things on Earth but it can't be stopped. As it has always been said, human will be the end of human. Thank you.
I agree.
