i the new generation of this harmous earth i would like to know about the fundamental of life starting from no existence life to existing life more especially when it comes to Biology because we all know that there are alot of unproven evidencies that needs modern ideologies to fulfil the legit effects.
Water is not depleting. This is because water is constantly cycled throughout the atmosphere because of the water cycle that recycles the water.
it is a problem because if we do not have rain forests, then there will be no rain and less oxygen
CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)What type of substance is it?CFCs are a class of man-made chemicals, generally non-toxic, non-flammable, chemically unreactive, colourless liquids or gases that evaporate easily. They are a group of ozone depleting substances. They damage the Earth's ozone layer, which protects the earth's surface from harmful ultra-violet radiation. CFCs are also powerful greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming.How is it released?Release to the atmosphere is primarily from CFC-containing aerosols, refrigeration equipment and some foams. There are no natural sources of CFCs.
It takes less energetic sunlight to reactivate it to its "ozone depleting" state.
An aquifer is important because it is a major source of water for irrigation and wells. Depleting an aquifer can cause serious water shortages for many years.
Chemicals known as chlorofluorocarbons damage the ozone layer.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other halogenated ozone depleting substances (ODS) are mainly responsible for man-made chemical ozone depletion.
They are depleting the ozone layer. they react with ozone and deplete it.
Ozone is destroyed by ozone depleting substances. CFC's i.e. Chlorofluorocarbons have the highest ODS potential. They are compounds of Chlorine.The substances that are causing ozone layer depletion are freons, CFC's etc..These are called as ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Destruction of ozone by CFC's is a great deal of worry. They decompose and keep on depleting ozone.
CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons are the ones that deplete the ozone layer. these molecules initiate a chain reaction decomposing the ozone molecules.
Chlorofluorocarbons have been banned from use as aerosols as well as many other ozone depleting chemicals.
'Ozone Depleting Compounds' See "What is causing the depletion of the Ozone Layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
The only chlorine-specific name is "chlorine-containing gases". They may or may not contain fluorine (chloromethane does not). They may or may not have carbon (HCl does not). The compounds are chlorofluorocarbons, bromofluorocarbons. A lot of initials get thrown around too - CFCs HCFCs. The active agents are the chlorine and bromine ions, the fluorine is too tightly bound to ionize. "Ozone Depleting Substances" or "Ozone Depleting Compounds" is the generic term, that does not limit itself to only chlorine-as-depleter.
Yes, the ozone layer is depleting due to the release of halogen compounds, specifically chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These compounds release chlorine and bromine atoms into the stratosphere, which then react with ozone molecules, breaking them down and reducing the ozone concentration in the ozone layer.
The chemicals responsible for depleting the ozone are many. Take CFC's, Freons, Bromides, Monoxides etc.
CFC's are the chemicals which are responsible for most of the ozone depletion. however certain gases such as NO2 and N2O are also responsible for it.
