What percent of the sources of chlorine in the stratosphere are CFCS?
The answer is 69 %
Where are the sources for element helium?
Atmosphere
What energy source is associated with nitrogen emissions?
There are various energy sources associated with nitrogen emissions. They occur through a lot of sources. Some are plants, atmosphere, animals, and microorganisms.
What is chemical energy?
Chemical energy is that energy contained in a chemical substance that is released when that substance reacts with another substance. For instance there the sucrose molecule stores chemical energy.
Which equilibrium at one atmosphere pressure is correctly associated with Kelvin temperature at which it occurs?
Steam-water equilibrium at 373 K Sources: Castle learning (: -T.A.G.

What substance can damage the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and the chlorine that they release are causing the damage to the ozone layer, and the extreme thinning at the poles that are called "holes". Ozone is a protective layer in the upper atmosphere. It is formed, when oxygen molecules absorb short wavelength ultra violet radiations from the sun. Ozone is mostly destroyed by free radicals in the atmosphere. When compounds like CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and other halocarbons are released, they are dissociated by sunlight into chloride radicals. These radicals attack ozone, thereby decreasing its concentration. This results in a thinning of the ozone layer, and in polar regions, a hole. The holes occur at the poles, and usually in Antarctica because of the extreme cold. During the winter polar stratospheric clouds form which are able to convert gases in the atmosphere into Cl (chlorine) and ClO (chlorine monoxide). When the sun arrives at the end of winter, that is the trigger to begin. This is why the hole is largest in spring.

Does chlorine released from natural sources cause ozone depletion?
Yes it does. Chlorine depletes the ozone layer.
What are the major sources of C in our atmosphere?
How long does co2 remain in the atmosphere
What are the sources of communication in the atmosphere?
Sattelites.
Where are the sources for element helium?
Atmosphere
What are the probable sources of salt found in the atmosphere?
the ocean
What are some sources of water in the atmosphere?
Evaporation, Respiration, Transpiration.
What energy sources drives the atmosphere and hydrosphere?
Energy from the Sun.
Why should carbon stay the same in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere is added by processes like combustion, decomposition and losses from methane sources. It is removed by photosynthesis and, chemical reaction and dissolving in ocean water. As long as the sources exceed the sinks the carbon will stay (and increase) in the atmosphere. Human activities increase the sources and decrease the sinks.
What are 2 sources of EM waves in earth's atmosphere?
the sun and technology
