ozone layer

Earth's atmosphere plays a key role in maintaining the overall health of the planet. It is made of a very thin layer of air, which covers every inch of Earth's surface up to the edge of space. Readers of this engaging volume will learn all about the atmosphere, from its composition and behavior to how it affects life on Earth. Eye-catching photographs pair closely with age-appropriate text, supporting a deeper understanding of the curriculum-based content.

Learn the science behind the greenhouse gases problem and some of the ways that we can fight back.

An introduction to global warming that explains ultraviolet radiation, the ozone layer, the greenhouse effects, and how global warming can be prevented. Presented in graphic form.

This book reveals the history of global climate action, environmental pacts, and the ways governments are using regulations and accords to protect Earth.

Readers will learn about the factors that determine weather and climate, the difference between them, and exactly why long-term forecasts are so complicated.

Discusses the topic of the disappearing ozone layer, including causes and consequences, and how to protect the remaining layer.

Explains why the earth's protective ozone layer is shrinking, discusses the impact of the additional ultraviolet radiation coming through the atmosphere, and describes steps being taken to understand and alleviate the problem.

Explains what the ozone layer of the atmosphere is, what destroys it, how it is measured, how this depletion affects humans and life on earth, and what can be done to save it.

Presents a study of the ozone layer, what it is and how it protects the earth, the effects of chlorofluorocarbons, and products that have caused damage to the ozone shield.

Discusses the dual problem of too much ozone in the troposphere creating smog and the depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere which shields harmful ultraviolet rays.
