Some predict that the sun’s rays will cause a sharpincrease in deaths from skin cancer over the next fifty years.These harmful rays can also damage the eyes, create wrinkles,and cause other health problems.The stratosphere contains a form of oxygen called ozone. Ozone is a molecule composedof three oxygen atoms. The chemical formula of ozone is 03. Oxygen molecules make upabout 21% of all gases in the Earth’s atmosphere. They consist of two atoms of oxygen andare labeled 02. Most ozone found in our atmosphere is formed by an interaction betweenoxygen molecules and ultraviolet radiation (UV) from the sun. When ultraviolet radiation hitsan oxygen molecule, it may cause the molecule to break apart into single atoms of oxygen.These single atoms are very reactive, and a single oxygen atom can combine with a moleculeof oxygen to form ozone.1.

READINGIX Read the passage. Answer the questions below.Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same weather phenomenon; we just usedifferent names for these storms in different places. In the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, theterm “hurricane” is used. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a“typhoon” and “cyclones” occur in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean. The ingredients forthese storms include a pre-existing weather disturbance, warm tropical oceans, moisture, andrelatively light winds. If the right conditions persist long enough, they can combine toproduce the violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains, and floods we associate withthis phenomenon. In the Atlantic, hurricane season officially runs June 1 to November 30.However, while 97 percent of tropical activity occurs during this time period, there is nothingmagical in these dates, and hurricanes have occurred outside of these six months.1.
