Ozone is decayed by compounds high in the atmosphere, most of which are Man-sourced (even from nearly 100 years ago).
Ozone is produced by NOx (in exhaust from infernal combustion engines), VOC (in exhaust, released during refueling and by Nature), violet and more energetic light, and oxygen present in the atmopshere.
The common agent here is Man.
The epicenter of an earthquake is directly above the focus or hypocenter, which is the point where the seismic waves originate within the Earth. It is typically located on the Earth's surface directly vertically above the focus.
Troposphere is closest the earth's surface.Stratosphere is the second closest on earth surface.
Atmospheric pressure is greatest at the surface of the Earth because there is more air above pushing down. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there is less air above, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure. Gravity also plays a role in compressing the air molecules closer to the Earth's surface, increasing the pressure.
Yes, atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of air above a given point on Earth's surface. It decreases with increasing altitude due to the decrease in air density.
None of the above. A crack in the Earth's surface is called a fissure or a fault.
As you travel from the surface to the center of the Earth, pressure will increase enormously, because of the increasing weight of what is above you.
sound speed is increasing with height above the ground. This refraction occurs due to a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude in the atmosphere, causing the sound waves to bend away from the surface of the Earth.
Yes, pressure is the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere above a point on the Earth's surface. This pressure decreases with increasing altitude due to the decreasing weight of the air column above.
Approximately 29% of Earth's surface is above sea level.
Yes, conduction does occur in the troposphere. It is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere closest to the surface where temperature decreases with increasing altitude. This temperature gradient allows for conduction as heat is transferred from the Earth's surface to the air above.

The epicenter is the point on the earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin.
The atmosphere extends about 600 kilometers (373 miles) above the Earth's surface.
The epicenter of an earthquake is directly above the focus or hypocenter, which is the point where the seismic waves originate within the Earth. It is typically located on the Earth's surface directly vertically above the focus.
The atmosphere is denser near the Earth's surface because gravity pulls the air molecules towards the ground, compressing them and increasing their density. As you move higher in the atmosphere, there are fewer air molecules above you, leading to lower pressure and density.
Ozone hole is observed to be depleting. It is because of man made CFC's.
It extends to 600-700 km above earth's surface
