Ozone occurs naturally in small amounts in the lower atmosphere and in high concentrations in the stratosphere, where it protects life from UV radiation. Depletion of the ozone layer allows more UV to reach the surface, risking damage to humans, animals, and plants. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and chlorofluorocarbons trap heat in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect and global warming as less heat escapes into space. The hydrological cycle and carbon cycle are impacted by climate change.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. OZONE • Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms. • It is both a natural and a man-made product • It occurs in the Earth's upper atmosphere (the stratosphere- high concentration) and lower atmosphere (the troposphere- very low concentration).
- 5. Ozone layer
- 7. Absorption of UV by O3
- 8. Importance of O3 • Protects all life forms on earth from harmful UV rays • Protects humans and animals from skin cancer and cataract caused by UV • Protects plants and vegetation from UV
- 10. Causes of O3 depletion
- 16. Impacts of O3 depletion
- 17. Genetic modification by UV
- 20. Green house effect • Greenhouse effect is the process by which radiations from the sun are absorbed by the greenhouse gases and not reflected back into space. This insulates the surface of the earth and prevents it from freezing.
- 22. What is the principle behind Green house?
- 23. Green house gas • Greenhouse gases are the gases that absorb the infrared radiations and create a greenhouse effect. For eg., carbondioxide and chlorofluorocarbons. • Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. • Green house gas molecules have 3 or more atoms in it.
- 25. Radiative effect of GH gases
- 26. • Solar spectrum- 100 nm to 1 mm. UV- C: 100 to 280 nm. IR- A: 700 to 1400 nm. UV- B: 280 to 315 nm. IR- B: 1400 to 3000 nm. UV- A: 315 to 400 nm. IR- C: 3000 nm to 1 mm. • Sunlight entering Earth’s atmosphere- With power of 1366 watts/m2 • At ground level, solar radition- With power of 1120-1000 watts/m2 UV – C, B, A IR- A, B, C
- 28. Global warming • Global warming is the slow increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere because an increased amount of the energy (heat) • Energy striking the earth from the sun is being trapped in the atmosphere and not radiated out into space. • Enhanced GH effect= Global warming
