Which gases are green house effect and how are they responsible in ozone layer depletion?

Answer 1

Only the enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming.

A:No, they are completely separate issues. The above answer also has not factual. Global warming allows life to exist on this planet. Without the ability of three atom gases to trap heat, the planet would be cold and dead.

ALL greenhouse effect traps heat, mostly with water vapor (75 to 80%), Carbon Dioxide (20%) and other any three atom gases (1 to 5%). Without this process we would be a cold dead planet. This is not exclusive to the theory of enhanced greenhouse effect.

The "hole" in the ozone layer is a well know effect from the long polar winters in the Southern Hemisphere and the reaction to the water vapor in the area. This issue became most apparent in 1858 (the largest known thinning year) due to naturally occurring solar flare issues. The sun creates ozone in the upper atmosphere by reacting with oxygen. Without the sun, we see a naturally occurring reduction in O3 production, thus the depletion. Winter months in the Antarctic reduce O3 by as much as 75% (3mm total to 1 mm total)

The Arctic has a similar issue during the end of it's winter, but on a very small scale. NASA refers to the small thinning area in the Arctic as the "dimple" due to the small size.

It is believed, by some groups, that man may be adding to both of these naturally occurring issues. The case is currently being made by NASA (a pro greenhouse group) that the ozone issue in the Antarctic is the cause of the increasing ice levels in the area as ozone is a greenhouse gas and the naturally occurring depletion is the cause of this increase.

Answer 2

Global Warming is caused by gasses released from burning fossil fuels. One of these gasses CFC's destroy the ozone layer which shields us from the sun's harmful rays. With the ozone thinning more heat enters our atmosphere and gasses trap that heat, making a greenhouse effect. This results in droughts, forest fires, higher water levels, greater cancer rates and can also effect the economy of a country. To stop this from happening we can use environmentally friendly products, use clean energy, recycle, reduce, reuse as well as many other things.

Answer 3

Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. Ozone layer depletion is primarily caused by human-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere. This depletion allows more harmful ultraviolet radiation to reach the Earth's surface, impacting human health and ecosystems.

Answer 4

Ozone depletion and greenhouse gases have a huge role in promoting global warming. They are the main causes of it.

Answer 5

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect.

To some extent, ozone depletion is the result of global warming.

Answer 6

Ozone depletion is casued by CFC's. It allows UV rays to enter.

Answer 7

Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide etc cause greenhouse effect. They also are responsible for ozone layer depletion.

Answer 8

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. They also cause ozone depletion.
