Question

what might happen if the ozone layer did not block the suns ultraviolet rays? a humans would be able to see in the ultraviolet range of the em spectrum b devices that use electromagnetic radiation would no longer work c the surface of the earth would be much hotter d rates of skin cancer would skyrocket

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing most of the Sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure to excessive UV - rays is a major risk factor for skin cancer. Humans cannot change their visual range due to ozone layer depletion. Devices using electromagnetic radiation are not directly affected by the ozone layer. The ozone layer has little impact on the overall temperature of the Earth's surface in terms of heating compared to other factors like the greenhouse effect.

Answer:

D. Rates of skin cancer would skyrocket
