1. According to your graph at which altitude is the concentration of Ozone

the greatest? 20
2. In which layer of the atmosphere is the highest concentration of Ozone
found? Stratosphere
3. Why is the Ozone Layer important to life on Earth? It protects us
from the harmful UV light of the sun like sunscreen.
4. Describe how the Ozone layer was put in danger? Humans were
creating products with chemicals that contain chlorine atoms
that attack the Ozone and so it was breaking down or thinning.
5. What was the human reaction to this problem? In 1989 the United
Nations created the Montreal Protocol so that countries could
comply and create ozone friendly products instead of harmful
ones.

6. Describe how the idea of Dynamic Equilibrium can be applied to the

Ozone layer? A dynamic equilibrium requires a balance of
chemicals. Once more harmful chemicals were introduced to
the Ozone layer there was a lack of balance because the
chlorine was attacking the ozone faster than the ozone could
regenerate, thus causing an imbalance.
