No, the ozone layer has been breaking up because of man made gases (CFCs) in the atmosphere. The chlorine in those gases attacks and destroys ozone. These gases, which can stay in the atmosphere for up to 75 years, are no longer emitted. Scientists hope that the ozone layer will be restored by 2060.

What problem has todo with the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is breaking. It is because of the use of CFC's by humans.


Is a methosphere a layer of earth?

No, a methosphere is not a layer of Earth. Perhaps you are referring to the "mesosphere," which is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. It is characterized by decreasing temperatures with increasing altitude.


What layer of the atmosphere lies between the mesosphere and the exosphere?

The thermosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that lies between the mesosphere and the exosphere. It is characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and is where the auroras occur.


How does the air temperature change in the mesosphere layer?

The air temperature in the mesosphere layer decreases with increasing altitude. This is because the mesosphere is the coldest layer of the Earth's atmosphere, with temperatures decreasing to as low as -90 degrees Celsius at the top of the layer. The decrease in temperature is primarily caused by the decreasing density of gas molecules at higher altitudes in the mesosphere.


Temperatures would you expect in the mesosphere?

Temperatures in the mesosphere can range from about -90°C to -120°C. These temperatures are significantly colder than those found in the lower layers of the atmosphere due to the decreasing density of air molecules with increasing altitude.


If the depth of the layer between 1000mb and 500mb is increasing with time if the surface temperature likely to be increasing or decreasing?

Assuming the depth of the layer is restricted to between 1000mb and 500mb, and increasing with time, it is almost certain that the surface temperature will remain constant, thus not increasing or descreasing.


What does the ozone layer have to do with antarctica?

Ozone is depleted at Antarctica. It is because of low temperatures.


Which layer is 30 to 50 miles from earth?

The layer that is 30 to 50 miles from Earth is the mesosphere. It is the third layer of Earth's atmosphere, located above the stratosphere and below the thermosphere. In the mesosphere, temperatures decrease with increasing altitude.


What areas are threatened by the problem in the ozone layer?

The poles are threatened. It is because of the low temperatures.


What layer of the atmosphere 80-480 km (50-298 miles) above the surface of the earth?

That portion of the atmosphere is within the Thermosphere layer. The Thermosphere is known for its high temperatures due to the absorption of solar radiation, with temperatures increasing with altitude. It is also where the International Space Station orbits.


Why is the ozone layer breaking?

The ozone layer is breaking due to CFC's. They are man created ODS.


What layer does a harpy eagle?

In rain forests, the Harpy eagle is often found in the emergent layer,or top layer, because it is able to live in hot temperatures and strong winds.
