What is ozone depletion caused by?
Ozone depletion is caused by the Ozone Depleting Substances(ODS) which are man-made chemicals and stay in the stratosphere causing the rate of depletion of ozone greater than its rate of formation.
Ozone depletion has been cause by?
The Chlorine in the CFC is the element that causes ozone depletion
What are some of the places in the world today that ozone depletion has been evident?
the ozone depletion has been evident at the poles. Antarctica has the largest ozone hole.
Damage caused to ozone layer in the stratosphere?
Damage to the ozone layer in the stratosphere is primarily caused by the release of man-made chemicals called ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These substances break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer allows more harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun to reach the Earth's surface, increasing the risk of skin cancer and other health issues.
What is being done in US to stop damage to the stratospheric ozone layer?
In order to stop the ozone depletion, the use of CFC's has been banned. These CFC deplete the ozone by decomposing it.
Production has been linked to an increase in the occurrence of skin cancers caused by holes in the ozone layer.?
The production of CFC's has been linked. The are synthetic chemicals. These are responsible for depletion of ozone.
Are humans responsible for the depletion of the ozone layer?
Yes. People developed chemicals such as CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) for use in refrigerators and as a propellant gas in aerosols. These CFCs rose high into the atmosphere and caused damage to the ozone layer. the use of CFCs has since been banned and the ozone layer is slowly recovering. Hopefully.
What is the meaning of ozone layer depletion?
Stratospheric ozone depletion is a concern because the ozone layer in the stratosphere keeps 95-99% of the suns ultraviolet radiation from striking the earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion is a concern because the ozone layer in the stratosphere keeps 95-99% of the suns ultraviolet radiation from striking the earth.
What substance is thought to cause the depletion of earth's ozone shield.what has been done to solve this problem?
CFC's are responsible for depletion of ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Why did ozone layer depletion occur in Antarctica?
It is because ozone depletion takes place in cold regions. Antarctica is the one place where ozone hole has been noticed.
What is ozone depleetion?
The ozone depletion refers to the thinning of ozone layer due to a no. of factors which include the man made and the natural ones. The natural depletion does not contribute to the ozone hole as the rate of formation of ozone hole is in equilibrium with the depletion. However due to the use of the harmful chlorofluorocarbons by the human beings the rate of depletion of ozone is increasing considerably thus leaving the rate of formation far behind. This difference in the formation rate and depletion rate leads to ozone hole.
What are consequences of ozone depletion and reformed measures to combat this process?
Ozone depletion causes UV to enter the earth. To stop it, CFC's have been banned.
