How does chlorofluorocarbon rise to the stratosphere?

CFC is lighter than air just like hot air. Once freed, it rises readily to the upper atmosphere at the level of the ozone layer where it can react with the extra atom of oxygen in the ozone.


How did oxygen come into the atmosphere according to evolutionists?

Scientists agree that significant amounts of oxygen were first put into the atmosphere by cyanobacteria which used and still use a process called photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. The sugar is then used to build cell walls and in the metabolism. When plants evolved, they too carried out photosynthesis, putting even more oxygen into the atmosphere. Prior to the evolution of cyanobacteria, the metabolisms of organism relied on anaerobic processes.


Describe the significance of cyanobacteria in the formation of earth's atmosphere?

cyanobacteria also called blue-green algae is thought to be one of the first ever photosynthetic organism...prior to the evolution of photosynthetic organisms theoxygen percentage of the atmosphere was 0% and as we all know without oxygen (O2), ozone(O3) cannot form, and without ozone there can be no atmosphere. Photosynthetic organisms allowed for the formation of oxygen and brought oxygen levels to the percentage it is today (20% a significant increase from 0%) as a result ozone was able to form and ultimately the atmosphere emerged.


What compounds were used in Miller and Urey's experiment to simulate the atmosphere of early Earth?

Miller and Urey's experiment used a mixture of gases including methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor to simulate the atmosphere of early Earth. These compounds were believed to represent the conditions present on Earth billions of years ago prior to the presence of oxygen.
