Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.

Why do greenhouse gases harm ozone?

Ozone itself is a green house gas. There would be no way that green house gases would harm it.


Why the green house gases only absorb uv rays?

They do not. Only ozone absorbs it.


Why are green house gases increasing?

because the ozone layer is getting thinner. and the hole is getting bigger.


Can the ozone layer repair itself if you reduce green house gases?

Probably.The ozone layer is constantly repairing itself. When ozone absorbs energetic radiation, it breaks down. Only a few greenhouse gases affect the average concentration of ozone. The biggest one is water vapor.


How are ozone and greenhouse gases different?

Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.


How many types of green house gas are there?

The Greenhouse gases are: * water vapor * carbon dioxide * methane * nitrous oxide * ozone * CFCs


What the effect of green house effect on the ozone layer?

Short Answer: No. Greenhouse gases allow energetic radiation to pass unaffected, but moderate / slow the passage of infrared. Thinning of the ozone layer is called depletion, and is a different symptom. The green house effect is an observed phenomenon caused by many different types of gases. These gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, and more. These gases trap heat from the sun within our atmosphere causing temperatures to rise on earth, much like a green house. They do not necessarily deplete ozone.Chlorofluorocarbons are gases that when released, deplete the ozone layer. These gases are usually found in refrigerators and air conditioners due to their ability to be easily compressed into liquids. They also used to be found in aerosol cans but environmental awareness about this issue has now made that illegal.


What protects the earth from getting to hot or cold or dry?

The earth is protected by its atmosphere.


What chemicals harm or weaken the Ozone?

Various chemicals harm or weaken the ozone. CFC's and Freons are some.


What are impacts of green house effect?

Greenhouse gases cause global warming. It then causes ozone depletion.


Where can the gases be found that destroy the ozone layer?

The gases that destroy ozone are CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.


What gasses make the hole in the ozone layer?

Gases such as CFCs, nitrous oxide, hydroxl, chlorine, and bromine are the main "hole" creators. These are produced naturally, in industrial applications, and by some consumer products. Carbon dioxide does not deplete the ozone. It does increase the green house effect but has a negligible effect on ozone depletion.
