Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most forms of life on Earth were it all to reach the surface of the Earth Fortunately, all of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation does not reach the Earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer

encircling the Earth in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 15 miles above the Earth The

ozone layer absorbs much of the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the Earth

Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O3) instead of the two atoms (O2) usually found in an oxygen molecule Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that

is initiated by ultraviolet radiation from the Sun UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules with two atoms into free oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with an oxygen molecule to form ozone UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus, ozone is constantly forming, splitting, and reforming in the stratosphere

When UV radiation is absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, it is

unable to reach Earth and cause damage there

Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the Earth has been diminishing Chief among the

culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the

chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) CFCs meander up from Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (ClO) and oxygen (O2) The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle

over and over again One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetitious cycle, and the effects of this destructive process are now becoming evident

Question 38: According to the passage, what happens after a chlorine molecule reacts with an ozone

molecule? A Three distinct molecules result.

B The ozone breaks down into three oxygen atoms

C Two different molecules are created

Trang 4

D The two molecules combine into one molecule.

Question 39: It is stated in the passage that the ozone layer

A reflects ultraviolet radiation B enables ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth

C shields the Earth from a lot of ultraviolet radiation D reaches down to the Earth Question 40: The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses

A where chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) come from

B the negative results of the cycle of ozone destruction

C how electromagnetic radiation is created

D the causes of the destruction of ozone molecules

A is causing severe damage to the Earth's ozone layer

B is only a fraction of the Sun's electromagnetic radiation

C creates electromagnetic radiation

D always reaches the Earth
