What else can I help you with?
What can destroy the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone in the ozone layer.
How do humans destroy the ozone?
The humans destroy ozone by usng CFCs. These are compounds which react with ozone to deplete it.
How can chloroflourocarbons destroy an ozone?
Yes, CFCs can destroy the ozone layer. They react with ozone present in ozone layer and decompose it.
Do CFCs strengthen the ozone layer?
No, the chlorine and other chemicals in CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone molecules and weaken the ozone layer.
How are cfcs in the upper atmosphere related to the ozone layer?
They are carried by westerlies. They destroy the ozone.
How does refrigerent affect the ozone?
Refrigerants contain CFC's. These CFcs are the chemicals that react with ozone and destroy it.
What human-made chemicals cause the ozone to deplete?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and certain types of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are human-made chemicals that cause ozone depletion. When these substances are released into the atmosphere, they break down and release chlorine and bromine atoms, which then destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere.
How do CFCs destroy ozone depletion by what?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down in the upper atmosphere due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation. This break down releases chlorine atoms, which then catalytically destroy ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This process leads to the thinning of the ozone layer, allowing more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.
Why is the CFCs and the ozone layer a concern?
CFC's and ozone layer combined is a concern. It is the problem because CFC's destroy the ozone to a great content.
What kind of effect do CFCs - chlorofluorocarbons - have on the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.
How do you CFCs illustrate that technical knowledge can be a double edged sword?
1. CFCs help in refrigeration but destroy the ozone layer when released into the atmosphere
What is the name of the greenhouse gas which destroys another greenhouse gas?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
