Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to primarily from CFC rather natural sources such as volcanoes because?
It is because the amount of chlorine emitted from natural resources is very less as compared to ones released from artificial products. The CFC's contain most of the chlorine which is responible for the depletion of ozone.
How do we know that natural sources are not responsible for ozone depletion?
Natural resources are responsible for ozone depletion. But the amount of depletion by them is very less.
What is natural sources that contribute ozone depletion?
There are various factors. UV rays and thunder contribute to it.
How do fire extinguishers affect the ozone layer?
No, fire works donot harm ozone layer.The substances that are causing ozone layer depletion are freons, CFC's etc.. These are called as ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Difference between of natural and artificial sources of light?
The difference between natural and artificial sources of light is that natural sources are produced by the sun while artificial light sources illuminate using energy from other sources and include incandescent bulbs.

What are sustainable sources?
Sustainable energy sources are renewable. They don't wear out. They are not subject to depletion such as fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Examples of sustainable resources are wind, water and solar energy. one that wont run out

Why has the contribution of chlorine in the destruction of stratospheric ozone increased significantly since the 1970s?
There is no unequivocal evidence that such an occurance (sudden uptick in ozone depletion) is correct, whether based on chlorine or not. We were barely aware of the ozone layer in the 1970's, having just detected evidence of depletion (and since finding out that depletion may have been ongoing since before the early 1700s), and finally finding out that an ozone hole forms (once each year, when it is winter at the poles). The chlorine compounds in the "ozone hole" have been identified as about 3% from natural sources, 15% chloromethane (natural, and Man-caused), and 82% from CFCs (which do not occur in Nature). CFCs have been in use since the early 1900s, and there is little indication that they have been only liberated in the 1970's. It is more likely that they have been steadily liberated, and steadily increasing, and constantly accumulating in the ozone layer... the only place in Nature where something can destroy them.
What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?
There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.
What are the information on depletion of natural resources?
Depending on the sources of what natural resource your talking about, fossil fuels, can be here forever if we learn how to devolope and master the gas. it will not be around for long as it is in high demand and there are not much of it around. other sources can be masterd and can be made once we have learned how to do it. we are at the beginning stages of the whole natural era and was don't no much cause we never worried about the problem
