Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reduction of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere leads to climatic changes, including increased UV radiation and warming of the stratosphere, which can have significant impacts on the Earth's climate and weather patterns. It can also increase the risk of skin cancer and other adverse health effects for humans and animals. Greater rainfall, greater crop yields, and fluorochlorocarbon production are not directly related to ozone depletion.
