How is the ozone layer destroyed?
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).
How do chlorofluorocarbon contribute to ozone depletion?
CFC's or chlorofluorocarbons contain chlorine or fluorine. These elements start a chain reaction in the ozone layer to react with them and decompose them into oxygen.
What does chlorofluorocarbons destroy?
Chlorofluorocarbons destroy ozone. It is vital for earth.
What can destroy the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone in the ozone layer.
Are volcanic eruptions an important cause of ozone?
No, ozone is destroyed by a runaway autocatalytic reaction with chlorine transported to the upper atmosphere by chlorofluorocarbons (man made compounds that do not exist in nature). One chlorine atom can destroy several tens of thousands of ozone molecules before it is neutralized. Volcanoes do not emit chlorofluorocarbons nor can they inject chlorine into the ozone layer.
Are volcanic eruptions an important cause of ozone thinning?
No, ozone is destroyed by a runaway autocatalytic reaction with chlorine transported to the upper atmosphere by chlorofluorocarbons (man made compounds that do not exist in nature). One chlorine atom can destroy several tens of thousands of ozone molecules before it is neutralized. Volcanoes do not emit chlorofluorocarbons nor can they inject chlorine into the ozone layer.
The destruction of ozone by chlorofluorocarbons?
CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone and deplete it.
How do chlorofluorocarbons destreoy ozone?
CFC's destroy ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What is the protective layer of the atmosphere destroyed by CFC's?
The protective layer of the atmosphere that is destroyed by CFCs is the ozone layer. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) break down ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion. This thinning of the ozone layer allows more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, posing risks to human health and the environment.
What are man made gases which affect ozone?
Chlorofluorocarbons as always are the reply. These are the gases with most ozone depletion potential. The potential is too high to be imagined.CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
How did the hole in ozone layer occur and is it related to global warming?
The hole in the ozone layer came about because of the artificially produced gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). These contained chlorine and bromine which destroyed ozone. CFCs are now banned. The ozone hole has very little to do with global warming.
What are chlorofluorocarbons doing ti the ozone layer and how?
They are depleting the ozone layer. they react with ozone and deplete it.
