    Ozone protects the world from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the Sun. while not the layer within the atmosphere, life on Earth would be terribly troublesome. Plants cannot live and grow in significant UV, nor will the planktons that function food for many of the ocean life. With a weakening of the layer protect, humans would be a lot of vulnerable to carcinoma, cataracts and impaired immune systems.

    The ozone layer acts as a layer which is the top most protective layer in the atmosphere of earth. It protects earth from UV rays i.e. ultra violent radiations, which comes directly from the sun. If this layer disappears, then all the living organisms will face numerous changes in there atmosphere, health, lifestyle. People will suffer from skin cancer, deadly skin burn, extreme heat. As the ultra violent rays will directly attack on the earth as there is no optical for it in its way. it will increase earth temperature, which will cause climate changes, melting of glaciers, floods, extincting of some animal species, humans will become sick and start dieing as in the glacier there are so many unknown viruses and bacteria’s trapped. They will be into the atmosphere because of UV rays.

    So its important to protect ozone layer depletion.
