About The Ozone Layer

Today we discussed about the Ozone Layer in our class, CM8001.

We learnt about the importance of the Ozone Layer; it absorbs some UV radiation,
learnt where the Ozone Layer is; the Stratosphere,
ozone1
learnt that the chlorine atoms in CFCs act as the catalyst that decompose the Ozone Layer,
learnt that UV-A is the region of the ultraviolet spectrum least absorbed by the atmosphere (honestly I didn’t even know there was more than 1 region),
index-39
but one of the most important thing we learnt today is that the Ozone Layer is not equal throughout.
Some parts of the Ozone Layer contains more Ozone than others, and with no prior knowledge in this subject/topic might not know this because of the name “Ozone Layer” which might be misleading.

I give today’s lesson a 10/10 for information and knowledge acquired.
