Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The depletion of the ozone layer leads to an increase in the intensity of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface. This is because the ozone layer absorbs and filters out harmful UV radiation.

Note: The greenhouse effect is associated with the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases, not UV radiation. Acid precipitation and eutrophication are not related to UV radiation. Biological magnification refers to the accumulation of toxins in higher trophic levels of the food chain.
