Question

In 1980 there was growing concern that the protective ozone layer over the Antarctic might be decreasing and thereby allowing so much harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth that polar marine life would be damaged. Some government officials dismissed these concerns, since statistics indicated that global atmospheric ozone levels remained constant. The relevance of the evidence cited by the government officials in support of their position would be most seriously undermined if it were true that

Answer 1

Even where the amount of atmospheric ozone is normal, some ultraviolet light reaches the Earth's Surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before 1980 there was very little concern about atmospheric ozone decrease. Many plants and animals flourish in warm climates rather than in polar regions. The increase exposure to ultraviolet rays due to shift in atmospheric ozone has threatened marine life.
