Ozone depletion in stratosphere would result in
forest fires
global warming
skin cancer incidence
None of the above
C.
skin cancer incidence
In the atmosphere, ozone molecules (O3) protects the Earth from the penetration of harmful UV radiation from the sun, thereby, protecting the life on Earth.
The main reason behind its depletion is CFCs (Chloroflurocarbons). Depletion of ozone layer by 1% results in an increase in the incidence of skin cancer by 5 to 7%.
