What else can I help you with?
What are some solutions to the breakdown of the ozone layer?
Breakdown of ozone layer can be prevented by:Planting more treesAvoiding the use of CFC's.
How is a molecule of ozone different from a molecule of atmospheric oxygen?
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. While the ozone layer is formed by the collection of large number of ozone molecules.
What atmospheric region has more ozone content?
The bottom of the stratosphere, commonly called the ozone layer.
Is ozone called trioxide or trioxygen?
Ozone is often referred to as trioxygen because it is made up of three oxygen atoms. However, it is more commonly known as ozone in environmental and atmospheric science studies.
What damage do chlorofluorocarbons do to your atmosphere?
They cause the breakdown of ozone, thus allowing more ultra-violet light reach the surface.
Why doesn't the ozone have its own layer?
It does.The ozone layer is comprised of the usual atmospheric constituents, but UV-C and more radiation form the Sun makes oxygen into ozone in / near the lower stratosphere. The peak ozone concentration roars up to 9 molecules in a million being ozone.
What happens when CFC's breakdown?
When CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down in the atmosphere due to factors like sunlight, they release chlorine molecules. These chlorine molecules then catalyze the breakdown of ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to the depletion of the ozone layer. This depletion allows more harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.
What catalyst is effective in the destruction of atmospheric ozone O3?
Chlorine has been found at high altitudes. Oxygen can be bonded with chlorine, since it is more electronegative than chlorine. Under solar irradiation present at the elevation of the "ozone layer", chlorine can be excited to take an oxygen atom from the ozone molecule, and later yield that oxygen atom up to a passing oxygen atom that might otherwise make ozone. It can even pass the lone oxygen on to another ozone molecule, forming 2O2 molecules. The chlorine is then in a receptive state to do it again.
Where would you rather live the Arctic or Antarctic?
The Antarctic is more stable and easier to access, but has the disadvantage of a large atmospheric ozone hole.
What has caused ozone to increase?
The phasing out of ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), through international agreements like the Montreal Protocol has contributed to the recovery of the ozone layer. Additionally, changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and climate can also impact ozone levels.
What is breakdown insurance, and should I purchase it?
You can find out more about mechanical breakdown insurance by going to http://www.mercuryinsurance.com/insurance-products/mechanical-breakdown-protection.html.
How did scientists find out about cfcs depleting the ozone layer?
They noticed the UV patterns. More UV led to ozone depletion cause.
