In your opinion which of the following is due to ozone hole ?

  • A.Increased UV radiation
  • B.Acid rain
  • C.Global warming
  • D.Greenhouse effect

Answer: A

The ozone hole leads to increased UV radiation.

The ozone layer in the stratosphere absorbs most of the sun's harmful ultraviolet-B radiation. Where it thins, as over Antarctica each spring, more UV reaches the ground, raising the risk of skin cancer, cataracts and damage to crops and marine plankton.

Acid rain comes from sulphur and nitrogen oxides, and global warming and the greenhouse effect come from greenhouse gases trapping heat. Ozone depletion and global warming are often confused, but they are different problems with different main causes.
