Which consequence results when atmospheric oxygen undergoes photochemical reactions?

💡 Explanation

The ozone layer protects from harmful UV radiation. UV radiation causes oxygen molecules to split, enabling them to form ozone through the Chapman cycle mechanism. Therefore, the ozone layer increases UV absorption, rather than other atmospheric effects because the Chapman cycle dominates at these high altitudes.
