No, they are different. Ozone depletion results in more ultraviolet (short wave) radiation reaching earth's surface. The greenhouse effect results in more infrared (long wave) radiation being absorbed by the atmosphere.

What is the effect the ozone layer in each place?

The effect of ozone layer is same overall. The ozone depletion over one place will affect the UV in that area.


What is the difference between the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect?

Ozone is a greenhouse gas. No compare or contrast possible. Any molecule with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas. Ozone is like a blanket that simply decreases the swings in day-night temperature. It does not itself cause warming, nor does loss of it cause warming. With ozone depletion, more energy arrives from the Sun at Earth's surface in the daytime, and more leaves for deep space in the night time. This extra energy includes UV-B from the Sun.


Describe two common myths associated with ozone depletion?

There are many myths. One such is that ozone is located in ozonosphere and another is that ozone layer damages us.


Does a hole in the ozone layer mean that the temperature of the earth is rising?

Yes, it means the same. Ozone depletion and global warming are interrelated.


Does the ozone layer have anything to do with global warming?

No, Global Climate Change has very little to do with the Depletion of the Ozone Layer.Recent global climate change or global warming is now considered by most climate scientists to be the likely result of increases in man-made greenhouse gas concentrations such as carbon Dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. These gases absorb strongly in the Infra red part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This has the effect of trapping heat and raising the temperature of the lower atmosphere.The depletion of the ozone (O3) layer or 'ozone hole' occurs mainly in the stratosphere, and is due to the catalytic destruction by atomic chlorine and bromine. The main source of these is from the photodissociation of man made chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) compounds.These effects are usually regarded as distinct phenomena. However there are a number of areas of linkage between ozone depletion and recent global warming.The same CO2 radiative forcing that produces global warming is expected to cool the stratosphere leading to a relative increase in ozone depletionReduced ozone causes the stratosphere to absorb less solar radiation, thus cooling the stratosphere while warming the troposphere; the resulting colder stratosphere also emits less long-wave radiation downward, thus cooling the troposphere. Overall, the cooling dominatesOzone depleting chemicals are also greenhouse gases.One of the strongest predictions of the greenhouse effect is that the stratosphere will cool, due to less infra red radiation coming up from the surface and greater radiative cooling of the stratosphere due to more CO2.Ozone is also created at the surface due to photochemical reactions between various man made pollutants, this adds to the greenhouse warming but is nothing to do with the ozone depletion in the stratosphere.

What are some aspects that ozone depletion and the greenhouse effect have in common?

There are important aspects of ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. They are caused by same sources.

Is ozone layer the same as ozone depletion?

No ozone layer and ozone depletion are different terms. Actually they are quiet the opposite terms.


Why does global warming stop healing ozone depletion?

Global warming relates with ozone depletion. The same is true for reverse.

What was ozone depletion discovered?

Ozone depletion was first noticed in 1985, the same set of measurements that established the ozone hole. There is evidence that ozone has been more-or-less steadily increasingly depleted, worldwide, since the early 1700s.


Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same effect?

Yes they do share the same effect. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases block the temperature to troposphere. Thus heat cannot escape to Stratosphere.No

Yes, it means the same. Ozone depletion and global warming are interrelated.


How are ozone and greenhouse gases different?

Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.

Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer produce the same effect?

If anything, they would produce opposite effects. Ozone is a greenhouse gas and retains warmth. A thinning layer reduces the planets ability to retain heat.
