What depletes ozone in stratosphere?
The depletion of ozone in stratosphere is due to the continues usage of CFCs. These cfc contribute to the depletion of ozone molecules.
What is the strongest evidence that cfcs are in the stratosphere?
Satellite measurements of light passing through the atmosphere
What makes it possible for CFCs to travel up to the ozone layer and destroy ozone?
CFCs are swirled around the world by the global winds. This can take up to ten years for them to reach the lower stratosphere but when there they are still effective at destroying ozone. CFCs in fact have a lifespan in the atmosphere of between 50 and 75 years.
Major ozone problems occur where?
Major ozone problems occur in stratosphere. It is where the ozone is located.
Why there is no rain in the stratosphere?
There is no rain in the stratosphere because the amount of water in the stratosphere is much lower than in the lower atmosphere, which means the condensation of water vapour which creates rain doesn't occur in the atmosphere.
What reduction is caused by CFCs in the stratosphere?
clouds
What percent of the sources of chlorine in the stratosphere are CFCS?
The answer is 69 %
What layer of the atmosphere is most affected by fluorocarbons?
The ozone layer, which is part of the stratosphere, is the most affected by fluorocarbons. When chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they migrate from the troposphere to the stratosphere after about 3 to 5 years. These CFCs destroy the ozone layer.

What is the strongest evidence that cfcs are in the stratosphere?
Satellite measurements of light passing through the atmosphere
Cfcs break down in the stratosphere under the influence of?
Light , release Cl which damages ozone .
What does weathering occur?
In the Stratosphere
What atmosphare does weather occur?
In the Stratosphere
Does condensation precipitation and evaporation occur in the stratosphere?
No
Does the ozone shield occur in the stratosphere?
Yes.

What is the rowland-molina hypothesis?
The Rowland-Molina hypothesis suggested that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) could deplete the ozone layer in the Earth's stratosphere. This hypothesis was significant in raising awareness about the potential environmental impact of CFCs on the ozone layer and ultimately led to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol to phase out the production and use of CFCs.
