can damage eyes ,too much exposure can cause skin damage resulting in skin cancer.
ultraviolet radiation
convection
radiation
condensation
these compounds are harmful to the ozone layer allowing the release of chlorine atoms upon exposure to UV radiation
radiation
temperature inversion
hydrosphere

contains negatively and positively charged ions , has a high concentration of ozone
ionosphere
troposphere
stability
hydrosphere
a convection current results and the wind blows toward the land

land breeze
sea breeze
conduction
Cooler air above the land moves over the water and rises, movement of air toward the water from the land.
