How do people affect the Arctic tundra?
Ozone Depletion... when greenhouse gases put holes in the ozone layer.
Do airplanes put holes in the o zone layer?
Airplanes release greenhouse gases. They can cause ozone depletion.
Does the ozone layer still have a hole?
as we know there are 2 holes in the ozone layer, over Asia and another 1 over the north pole - it is all apart of god's plan. so don't go freaking out if there is a hole. god knows what he is doing. everything is for a reason...
Can you put up a fake ozone layer if the real one is depleted?
No, we cant put up a fake ozone. It is because it will be impossible to artificially create so much ozone as present in the ozone layer.
How would you put ozone in a sentence?
the ozone layer is being destroyed due to human pollution.
Why do people other than those living near the poles need to be concerned about the ozone layer?
The lowest year-round "total column ozone" levels are at the equator. Depletion affects the entire atmosphere. Ozone holes at the pole do not put people at risk of cancer, cataracts, and ultimately starvation, since the hole heals shut when there is no sunlight with UV-B to be protected from. The ozone hole is just a symptom of other problems with the ozone layer.
What three molecules put together the ozone layer?
That would be nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), and ozone (O3).
Do rockets put a hole in the ozone layer?
It's just gas, much like the rest of the atmosphere, so a rocket just pushes right through it. You know how clouds block sunlight, and if they are thick enough, you can't see the Sun anymore and it is pretty dark? Airplanes can fly through those clouds. The ozone layer is like those clouds, only it doesn't block visible light... and it is very thin. Ozone just blocks UV-B and more energetic light, protecting Earth's surface.
What protects living things from uv rays?
The ozone layer present in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere protects is from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. These are highly energetic radiations which could cause skin cancer, eye cataract and suppression of immune system among the human beings.
What is a ozon layer?
It is a layer in the stratosphere (at approximately 20 miles). It contains a concentration of ozone, sufficient to block most ultraviolet radiation from the sun. THats why this layer of atmosphere is called ozonosphere(derived from ozone).. !!
Why was the ozone layer thinning?
because of global warming all of the chemicals and pollution that we put in the air is making holes in the ozone layer . This is why we should try to walk more often and recycle .So our decedents can live a happier life.Added: Although much speculation and scientific mumbo-jumbo can be bandied about regarding this subject, the answer is, that no one can state positively that this is caused by anything man-made. We weren't even capable of measuring this phenomenon until recent history, and what are we comparing it to? Who knows what the thickness of the Ozone layer even was several hundred, much less several thousand years ago.
State some effects of a thinning ozone layer?
The ozone layer prevents a portion ultraviolet light from reaching the Earth's surface. Full strngth ultraviolet light would damage plants and animals by sunburning them or causing cancer. The thinner the ozone layer the more potential there is for these adverse effects.
