What is the difference between the Stratosphere Thermosphere and the Trophoshere?
Stratosphere is the layer above troposphere. Troposphere is the first layer and is below the stratosphere.
Why does the stratosphere end at 9 miles?
The Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles in the first place. The Stratosphere STARTS at 17 km so if you do the math, you will know that the Stratosphere does not end at 9 miles.Secondly, the Stratosphere ends at 17 km because that's where the Mesosphere starts.
What is the stratoshere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
What atmosphere are the clouds in?
stratosphere
What is the percentage of gases in the stratosphere?
The percentage of gases in the stratosphere is 79% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and 1% other gases.
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 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
Cfcs break down in the stratosphere under the influence of?
Light , release Cl which damages ozone .
What caused ozone layer to break down?
CFCs
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.
How is ozone produced in the stratosphere depleted?
Ozone depletion in the stratosphere is primarily caused by the release of certain chemicals known as ozone-depleting substances (ODS), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). These chemicals contain chlorine and bromine atoms that are released into the atmosphere through human activities. When these molecules reach the stratosphere, they are broken down by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, releasing chlorine and bromine atoms that can then catalytically destroy ozone molecules. This process leads to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere.
What can companies that now produce CFCs do to replace money lost when CFCs are banned?
Make something else BUT this time check that the products they are making are not harmful. They aught also to pay towards the environmental harm that CFCs have caused.
Was global warming caused by CFCs and a hole in the ozone layers?
Global warming was not originally caused by CFC's. However they are also a reason behind it.
What effect do CFCs have on the Earth's stratosphere?
CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons)What type of substance is it?CFCs are a class of man-made chemicals, generally non-toxic, non-flammable, chemically unreactive, colourless liquids or gases that evaporate easily. They are a group of ozone depleting substances. They damage the Earth's ozone layer, which protects the earth's surface from harmful ultra-violet radiation. CFCs are also powerful greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming.How is it released?Release to the atmosphere is primarily from CFC-containing aerosols, refrigeration equipment and some foams. There are no natural sources of CFCs.
What can I do to reduce the use of CFCs?
We can stop CFC's by using their alternatives. A ban has to be placed.
