Creation+and+destruction+of+atmospheric+ozone+and+oxygen

Creation/destruction of atmospheric ozone and oxygen: (Alex & Chris) 1) O2 + sunlight--> O +O(Synthesis/Addition) 2) O+ O2 --> O3 3) O3 + sunlight--> O2 +O(Decomposition) 4) O + O3 --> O2 + O2





There are only 2 elements in all 4 of these equations. The first of these elements is oxygen. Oxygen has 8 protons, 8 nuetrons, and 8 electrons. The element has 3 variations O, O2, and O3. The second element in this equation is sunlight.

These equations are important because the ozone protects our skin against the uv rays that are released from the sun. Too much exposure from UV can cause skin cancer. The other half of these reactions is the breaking down of the ozone. This is a growing problem in the world. Scince it has become more recognized the more people are starting to make an effort to stop the global warming. ​ This is a growing epidemic in the world. The effects of this are causing the polar ice caps to melt. Destroying the habitats of many different species some who are already indangered. Also by this happening it also causes the ocean levels to rise decreasing the amount of dry land. If the population can pay atention to what they are doing to the worldthis will not be a problem

Chemical equations are important in every day life because all things that take place have a chemical reaction. http://www.xplora.org/downloads/Knoppix/ESPERE/ESPEREdez05/ESPEREde/www.atmosphere.mpg.de/media/archive/1161.jpg http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/397608-18831-47.jpg
