Chlorofluorocarbons are man made ODS. When UV hits it, Chlorine is released. Chlorine destroys ozone after it.

What naturally creates and destroys ozone?
The ultraviolet radiation from the sun creates and destroys ozone naturally. It happens due to the high frequency of these waves.
Which of these is not a reason to avoid UV radiation?
uv radiation destroys vitamin D
What is one of the factors scentists think is contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer?
CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, the chlorine from which destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere.
Do chlorofluorocarbons make the ozone layer thicker?
No. The opposite. Chlorine in chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) destroys the ozone molecules. CFCs also remain in the atmosphere for up to 70 years. That is why, even though there are no more CFCs being emitted, it will take till 2060 for the ozone layer to repair itself completely.
What is the role of CFC in ozone destruction?
CFC's have the major role. They are the ones that deplete the ozone.
What naturally creates and destroys ozone?
The ultraviolet radiation from the sun creates and destroys ozone naturally. It happens due to the high frequency of these waves.
What is the difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound?
The difference between ultraviolet radiation and ultrasound is how they react when inside the body. Ultraviolet radiation attacks the cells and destroys cells that are harmful to the body. Ultrasound is merely a viewing device. Ultrasound is used to detect abnormalities in the body.
What is the name of the greenhouse gas which destroys another greenhouse gas?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
Which of these is not a reason to avoid UV radiation?
uv radiation destroys vitamin D
What is it called when radiation destroys atoms?
Ionization
What is one of the factors scentists think is contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer?
CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons, the chlorine from which destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere.
What damages ozone?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) are the ones that destroy ozone. These molecules initiate a chain reaction inside the ozone layer which destroys huge amounts of ozone.
What is the material that causes the destruction of the ozone layer?
The destruction of ozone layer is caused by chlorofluorocarbons. These compounds initiate a chain reaction in the ozone layer which destroys these molecules.
Do chlorofluorocarbons make the ozone layer thicker?
No. The opposite. Chlorine in chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) destroys the ozone molecules. CFCs also remain in the atmosphere for up to 70 years. That is why, even though there are no more CFCs being emitted, it will take till 2060 for the ozone layer to repair itself completely.
Is it true that radiation destroys fast growing cancer cells more slowly than normal cells?
it is ture
What is the role of CFC in ozone destruction?
CFC's have the major role. They are the ones that deplete the ozone.
How does radiation affect plants?
Just because it duz^ thanx bro helpfull answernow my answer! :DPrevents Seed Growth· Ultraviolet radiation affects plant growth and development in many ways. First, it gradually stops seed growth and sprouting, depended on the how much radiation is released. Soil can become compacted and lose the nutrients needed for plants to grow. The results of various lab experiments supplying Ultraviolet radiation through filtered lamps proved that higher doses of radiation administered to the plants were very damaging.Disrupts Stomata Resistance· The stomata is a small air hole within a plant leaf that also controls water levels. If there is too much evaporation due to intense radiation, the stomata closes to reserve water. If the stomata is unable to open for a long period of time, the growth of the plant is stunted. Prolonged periods of radiation can completely damage the stomata and destroy the plant.Damages Plant Cells· The cells of living organism are also damaged and killed by Ultraviolet radiation. What allows plants to grow is the division and expansion of cells as they take up water. Cells contain chromosomes, the genetic material responsible for plant reproduction. If the cell is overly damaged by radiation, then reproduction is hindered.Increases Cell Mutations· Because ultraviolet radiation destroys cells, the chances of mutation are great. Affected plants are often small and weak with altered leaf patterns.Reduces Plant Fertility· Prolonged radiation can completely destroy the fertility of a plant. The plant gradually dies. The surroundings become poisoned and prevent the growth of future offspring.Not all radiation is bad. Sunshine is a type of radiation that is needed for photosynthesis and normal plant growth.
