What else can I help you with?
How people kill earths atmosphere?
you can't exactly kill Earth's atmosphere because it isn't living, but things like CFCS (chlorofluorocarbons) can damage it
What are chlorofluorocarbons and what impact do they have on the atmosphere?
any of a class of compounds of carbon.
What kind of effect do CFCs - chlorofluorocarbons - have on the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.
How do chlorofluorocarbons build up in the atmosphere?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) build up in the atmosphere when they are released from products like refrigerants and aerosols. Once in the atmosphere, CFCs break down and release chlorine atoms, which then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules in the ozone layer.
Which chemical damages the protective ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chemicals that have been primarily responsible for damaging the protective ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. When released into the atmosphere, CFCs break down and release chlorine atoms that then react with ozone molecules, leading to ozone depletion.
Which part of the oxygen cycle can damage the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are a group of compounds that can damage the ozone layer by releasing chlorine atoms when they break down in the atmosphere. These chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, breaking them apart and leading to ozone depletion.
What percentage is CFC in the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) currently make up less than 1% of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
Since the 1980's chlorofluorocarbons were banned to prevent further damage to what?
The ozone layer.
Are CFCs' also called ozones?
No. CFC's are chlorofluorocarbons and cause damage to ozone (O3).
What is the percent composition of Chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are present in very low concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere, typically measured in parts per trillion (ppt) or parts per quadrillion (ppq). The percent composition of CFCs in the atmosphere is extremely low, usually less than 1 part per trillion.
Can tornadoes do damage to the atmosphere?
No. Tornadoes do not damage the atmosphere.
What type of compounds cause damage to the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform are examples of compounds that cause damage to the ozone layer. These compounds release chlorine and bromine atoms when they break down in the atmosphere, which then deplete the ozone layer.
