Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are stable and non-reactive compounds, which allows them to persist in the lower atmosphere for a long time before reaching the stratosphere. Their low volatility and high molecular weight enable them to slowly rise through the atmosphere. Once in the stratosphere, CFCs are broken down by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, releasing chlorine atoms that contribute to ozone depletion.
What else can I help you with?
Do Chlorofluorocarbons destroy the stratosphere?
Yes, CFC's destroy the ozone in the stratosphere. They react with ozone to destroy it.
Do halons and CFC's both destroy ozone in the stratosphere?
Yes they do. Halons and CFC's both destroy ozone.
What do Halons and CFC s do to the ozone A inhibit ozone formation B cause ozone formation in the troposphere C destroy ozone in the stratosphere D cause excess ozone formation in the stratosphere?
Halons and CFC s both destroy ozone in the stratosphere.
What are the pirmary culprits in ozone layers breakdown and how did they get in the stratosphere?
CFC's are the primary culprits for depletion. The get in the stratosphere by the westerly winds.
What is the strongest evidence that CFC are in the stratosphere?
Satellite measurements of light passing through the atmosphere
Where in the atmosphere is ozone broken down by cfc's?
It is broken in the stratosphere. CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
What are three characteristics of the stratosphere that make it ideal for the Concorde to travel?
the stratosphere is my nuts
What substance depletes ozone in the stratosphere?
CFC's and HCFC's
What chemical is dangerous to the ozone layer in the stratosphere?
cfc
Do Chlorofluorocarbons destroy the stratosphere?
Yes, CFC's destroy the ozone in the stratosphere. They react with ozone to destroy it.
Do halons and CFC's both destroy ozone in the stratosphere?
Yes they do. Halons and CFC's both destroy ozone.
CFC's are released and rise to the stratosphere Sunlight breaks down the CFC's reeasing atomic that destroys the zone?
CFC's are fatal for ozone. They react with them to deplete them.
What do Halons and CFC s do to the ozone A inhibit ozone formation B cause ozone formation in the troposphere C destroy ozone in the stratosphere D cause excess ozone formation in the stratosphere?

What are the pirmary culprits in ozone layers breakdown and how did they get in the stratosphere?
CFC's are the primary culprits for depletion. The get in the stratosphere by the westerly winds.
What is being done in the US to damage to the stratosphere ozone layer?
The US is trying to stop the damage in stratosphere. They are doing this by banning CFC's.
How long does it take for chlorofluorocarbons to reach the stratosphere?
Chlorofluorocarbons, also called CFC, go into the stratosphere. Air is lighter than the CFC and they can take about 2 to 5 years to travel in the stratosphere.
What is being done in the US to stop damage to the stratosphere ozone layer?
The US is trying to stop the damage in stratosphere. They are doing this by banning CFC's.
