Which one of the chemical is responsible for the reduction of Ozone content of the atmosphere?
ozone
Why is the amount of ozone variable in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone is variable. It is because it keeps on forming and destroying.
If there is a drop in the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere Why does this drop occur?
It is because of the CFC's. They react with ozone and deplete it.
How much gas does the ozone layer take up in the atmosphere?
The ozone has very very small amount. It is just present as the ozone layer.
Which one of the chemicals is responsible for the reduction of ozone layer in the atmosphere?
The chemicals responsible are Chlorine and Fluorine. They react in the form of CFC's.
Which one of the chemical is responsible for the reduction of Ozone content of the atmosphere?
ozone
What has reduced the amount of ozone in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone has reduced. It is due to CFC.
What effects does the amount of ozone in your atmosphere have?
The amount of ozone in atmosphere determine s the % of solar radiation that will be absorbed. The absorbtion of radiation is proportional to the concentration of ozone.
Why is the amount of ozone variable in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone is variable. It is because it keeps on forming and destroying.
What layer of the atmosphere contains the highest amount of ozone?
Stratosphere contain highest amount of ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
What happens to temperature with little ozone?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. Increase in amount of ozone will increase the temperature of the atmosphere.
Which are the causes of the pollution on ozone layer?
The pollution of ozone layer is cause by CFC's. They reduce the amount of ozone in the atmosphere.
What property controls the amount of atmosphere a planet has and how?
the ozone layer
If there is a drop in the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere Why does this drop occur?
It is because of the CFC's. They react with ozone and deplete it.
How much gas does the ozone layer take up in the atmosphere?
The ozone has very very small amount. It is just present as the ozone layer.
Which one of the chemicals is responsible for the reduction of ozone layer in the atmosphere?
The chemicals responsible are Chlorine and Fluorine. They react in the form of CFC's.
Why does the amount of ozone stay constant?
It doesn't. The ozone in the upper atmosphere screens out most of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches us from the sun, protecting life on earth from its harmful effects. However, by the 1980s, the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere had fallen to such a dangerously low level that a hole in the ozone layer had opened up over most of the continent of Antarctica. The reduction in ozone levels was shown to be caused by the manufacture and use of certain gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons, in airconditioning units and refrigerators. When released into the atmosphere, these gases combined with the atmospheric ozone, reducing the natural level. Urgent action was undertaken by governments around the world, to ban the manufacture of these gases. Only now are atmospheric levels of ozone beginning to return to normal.
