What should you know about ozone depletion?
See "What is the depletion of the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
What is being done to prevent damage to the ozone layer?
We know that the ozone depletion is caused by CFC's. To prevent depletion, CFC's are banned.
What impact does the depletion have on human life?
the depletion of the ozone layer will causes harm to the environment because as we know ozone layer protects our earth from the ultraviolet rays of the sun and if its depletion takes place our earth will be destroyed because of the harmful ultra violet rays of the sun.
What is ozone thinning?
This is a thinning (by about 2/3, of the ozone over the Antarctic during the spring time, towards the end of the long winter night in the south pole. There is no actual hole in the layer. This has occurred for centuries, in fact the thinnest we know the layer has ever been is in 1858, before man started using cfc's. A similar thinning occurs, to a much smaller extent in the Arctic during the end of it's winter night also. The thinning is much smaller in the Arctic and NASA even reffers to this thin area as the "Dimple" due to the small size.
How do we know that natural sources are not responsible for ozone depletion?
Natural resources are responsible for ozone depletion. But the amount of depletion by them is very less.
Does pig farms effect the ozone layer?
Pig farms can contribute to ozone layer depletion indirectly through the production of methane and nitrous oxide emissions, which are greenhouse gases that can contribute to climate change. However, pig farms do not directly affect the ozone layer. The main concern with pig farms is their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change rather than ozone layer depletion.
How do we know there is an ozone layer?
There is an ozone layer. Scientists have confirmed that.
How did you know that the ozone layer had a hole?
The ozone layer has a hole.It was proven by scientists.
How big is the hole in the ozone layer near Antarctica what steps are being taken to prevent ozone layer depletion?
The ozone hole, and its size varies by time of year. No point in answering that part of the question.As to what is being done to prevent ozone layer depletion, we are asking silly questions on the internet. So far we have banned CFCs, which have been shown to deplete ozone (Nature also makes some, but we cannot fine Her). We still fly aircraft high in the atmosphere, even though we know this also depletes ozone. Other than that, we thump our chests, and point fingers elsewhere...
Do yoou know That cfc destroy the ozone layer?
Yes.CFC's destroy the ozone layer.
Why is ozone depletion continuing?
# All the contaminants in the atmosphere have neither all left, nor all made it to the ozone layer yet. # New contaminants are being added, both by Nature and by Man # Old behaviors are still practiced and encouraged, even though we know they damage the ozone layer. Let's see what another two decades and 50% less fossil fuel expended in aircraft flight do to depletion...
How did humans change their actions to reduce ozone depletion?
* The scientists located and identified compounds in the "ozone holes", and showed that they did serve to destroy ozone. * The manufacturer's started testing various compounds before offering them for sale. * The more prosperous countries switched from compounds that were found to destroy ozone, to compounds that did not in laboratory testing.
