Question
Which of the following are not caused by Depletion of Ozone layer?a.Cataractsb.Myopiac.Skin Cancerd.Sunburns
Solution
The depletion of the ozone layer is not responsible for causing Myopia (b). Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common type of refractive error where close objects appear clearly, but distant objects appear blurry. It is usually caused by an issue with the physical length of the eyeball or the curvature of the cornea, not by environmental factors such as ozone depletion.
On the other hand, Cataracts (a), Skin Cancer (c), and Sunburns (d) can all be caused or exacerbated by the increased UV radiation that reaches the Earth's surface due to the depletion of the ozone layer.
