How does carbon dioxide effect the ozone layer?

Answer 1

Itself it allows Earth to store the thermal energy the Sun sends us. But if it runs out of control, it might cause more than just temperature increase. There is a sequence of reactions that prevents ozone to go down to low atmosphere, and decomposes ozone to oxygen. If the hydrocarbons prevent the final reaction, the ozone will not decompose. Here are they:

Nitrogen oxides decompose in NO and O:

NO2 -> NO + O

Oxygen atom matches an oxygen molecule, forming ozone:

O + O2 -> O3

Ozone is consumed to react with nitrogen oxide:

NO + O3 -> O2 + NO2

This is the normal cycle. The hydrocarbons scramble this final reaction, causing more nitrogen oxides to be created, creating more ozone.

Answer 2

Carbon dioxide itself does not directly affect the ozone layer. However, the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere contributes to global warming, which can indirectly impact the ozone layer. Warmer temperatures can lead to more ozone depletion in the stratosphere and affect the balance of chemicals that protect and maintain the ozone layer.

Answer 3

CO2 (carbon dioxide) does not directly affect ozone, unlike the man-made gases CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). However, higher levels of carbon dioxide have an indirect effect on the ozone layer, which lies in the stratosphere.

• In the lower stratosphere and close to the equator, increased CO2 slows the production of new ozone, especially in the spring.
• However, near the poles and in the upper stratosphere, CO2 increases the amount of ozone. It does this by preventing nitrogen oxide from breaking the ozone down.

Answer 4

It doesn't. On Mars, ozone is formed from carbon dioxide as its donates oxygen.

Answer 5

The effect of carbon di oxide on the ozone layer is not that much dominant. But the freon gas ie chloro fluro carbon would definitely affect ozone layer.

Answer 6

yes, it does. It causes greenhouse effect which further causes ozone depletion.

Answer 7

Carbon footprints is the carbon emission in an area. It causes ozone depletion.

Answer 8

Increasing carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere means more heat is captured and global warming increases.

Answer 9

Carbon dioxide causes global warming. It then causes ozone depletion.

Answer 10

Yes, it does. It affects the ozone layer.
