True or false a main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is global warming?
False. The main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is the presence of halogen atoms in the stratosphere from man-madeHalocarbon refrigerants (CFCs, freons, halons).
What is the main source of chlorine atoms in the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons. (CFCs)
What is causing the onzone hole disappear?
Substances known as CFCs cause that.
What human-made chemicals cause the ozone to deplete?
The human made chemicals that destroy the ozone are CFCs. These CFCs are ones that decompose the ozone molecules.
Can rain demolish CFCs?
CFCs are neither soluble in water or reactive with it. Rain has no impact on CFCs
How did the ozone layer got holes?
Pollution. LOTS of pollution. CFCs primarily. But pollutants are now the main cause of ozone holes as CFCs have been outlawed.
What cause the ozone to break down?
CFCs
True or false a main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is global warming?
False. The main cause of the thinning of the ozone layer is the presence of halogen atoms in the stratosphere from man-madeHalocarbon refrigerants (CFCs, freons, halons).
What were the main uses of CFCs in the 20th century?
It was used in refrigirators.
Do scientists know exactly why the ozone is disappearing?
Yes, they do. chlorine and bromine released from man-made compounds such as CFCs are now accepted as the main cause of this depletion.

Substances known as CFCs cause that.
What human-made chemicals cause the ozone to deplete?
The human made chemicals that destroy the ozone are CFCs. These CFCs are ones that decompose the ozone molecules.
What can CFCs cause ozone depletion?
CFC's react with ozone to cause depletion. they decompose the ozone layer.
What does scientist think is damaging the ozone layer?
Accouring to the scientists, the main cause of depletion of ozone layer is the use of CFc's. These CFCs react with ozone present in the ozone layer and deplete it.
What gasses cause global warming?
Methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
How can we affect CFCs?
CFC's are compounds which cause ozone depletion. They decompose ozone.
