So, what is ozone layer depletion? Ozone is basically made up of three oxygen atoms. It is also, the air we breathe. The ozone layer plays a key role in the temperature structure of the Earth's atmosphere.

It does the filtering action of the ozone layer. So no more of the Sun's UV-B radiation would penetrate the atmosphere and would reach the Earth's surface. The sun's UV-B radiation causes skin cancer and can age your skin's age faster than usual.

Here, I am going to focus on one country, which is Australia. Austrialia, is closer to the sun in the summer compared to other countries. In the summer there is an increase of UV rays of 7% which means that people in Australia faces, 15 more percentage of UV rays.
