. The ozone layer absorbs energy and protects life on Earth. Some chemicals have damaged the ozone layer. Which of these explains what happens when the ozone layer is damaged? * A. Fewer UV rays reach the Earth's surface.

B. More UV rays reach the Earth’s surface.

C. More UV rays are reflected back toward space.

D. Other parts of the atmosphere make up for the damaged ozone layer.

B. More UV rays reach the Earth’s surface.

Explanation:

The release of chemical components into the atmosphere mainly those which contains tetrachloride and chlorofluorocarbons are capable of causing damage to ozone layer, which is a layer in the earth atmosphere which protects the earth species through the absorption of the ultraviolet radiations of the sun. These ultraviolet radiations are capable of causing skin diseases(cancer). The thining of this layer would allow direct ultraviolet radiations to reach the earth and therefore causing immeasurable damage. The relaease of this carbon compounds therefore needs to be curtailed into to preserve the ozone layer.
