Ozone Layer

There is not actually a hole in the ozone layer but it is the thinning of ozone layer below a certain level. However the ozone in the ozone layer gets depleted and repaired by itself through natural phenomenon. However due to the use of CFC's by the human beings the rate of depletion has increased than the rate of repairing and thus the levels of ozone are falling down at a continues rate.

To keep us alive. Because the sun will burn out, and we most definitely need the sun for heat, crops, etc. A way to save the ozone layer is using non-polluting biodiesel instead of regular gasoline. Also, REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE! Reduce= Reduce the trash you make! The world is running out of space for garbage; most landfills are closing. Burning trash is not the solution, either. It still pollutes the air, which does NOT help our situation at all. How can we throw something away, when there is no away? Reuse= Whether its water bottles, newspaper, or even toilet paper rolls, we need to reuse everything possible. Cardboard, plastic, styrofoam, paper, ANYTHING! Recycle= The biggest "R" of the three. This means: convert waste into reusable material. Use the unused macaroni for a cute collage. Use those old wood scraps for a birdhouse. ANYTHING to help our ozone layer! ---- Ozone in the upper atmsophere is the only gas in our atmosphere that absorbs UV-B. UV-B will cause cancer and mutation in us and the organisms we depend on to live. Additionally, increasing UV-B decreases crop yields and can destroy land for use. So the ozone layer is necessary for life on the land, and near the ocean's surface. The double-speak above, referring to being good stewards of the Earth, presents no methods of "rebuilding" the ozone layer. We must stop adding water vapor and CFCs to the air, and stay vigilant for new compounds that we make that end up there and adversely affect the amount of ozone present.

A hole in the ozone layer can effect not only south America or Australia but the whole world.

This is so because such holes would tend to let more sunlight than needed which would result in sun burns or skin cancer and the heat would effect the whole ecosystem in many ways which in turn would effect the whole world as ecosystems are interconnected!!

Per everythingradio.com: "The 45 RPM record was developed by RCA Victor company in 1948 - immediately following the invention of "vinyl" plastic and the development of the 12" LP record by CBS engineers (also in 1948). The 45 RPM speed was the only one to be decided by a precise optimization procedure. The optimum use of a disc record of constant rotational speed occurs when the innermost recorded diameter is half of the outermost recorded diameter. " RCA marketed the new 45 format by producing and selling hundreds of thousands of 45-ONLY turntables at near cost. Of course, these new turntables with the big center spindle could not play other records with the small holes, so owners were locked into buying only the new style records. By the mid 1950's, the 45 format had become the accepted standard for selling singles, serving RCA through licensing fees (as the patent holders) for both record production and record player production by other companies. The 45 held sway until the CD revolutionized music distribution with digital sound. This was a full thirty years, from 1955 through 1985. Not even the offshoot formats of reel-to-reel tapes, 4-track tapes, 8-track tapes, and cassette tapes had any significant impact on 45 sales during this period.

Yes. It is smaller than the southern polar ozone hole. There is a hole that forms in the ozone layer above the pole that is experiencing winter. The Southern pole get more hydrogen nucleii form the solar wind than the northern pole does, due to Earth's current magnetic field arrangement. This is why the southern polar hole is larger than the northern polar hole.

-- A gradient (change) in temperature, pressure, and humidity with altitude can bend the path of radio waves. The effect is independent of frequency. -- Ionized atmosphere, such as intermittently arises between roughly 70 to 250 miles above the surface, reflects radio waves at the lower frequencies ... below perhaps 35 MHz depending on the depth and intensity of the ionized layers. -- The presence of rain, sleet, and fog can attenuate the radio waves by absorbing some of the RF energy. The effect is greater at higher frequencies (essentially negligible below perhaps 8 GHz). -- Atmospheric gases alone exhibit non-negligible absorption of RF at high microwave frequencies, e.g. 28 GHz and above. -- High winds can have a significant effect on the transmission of E&M waves, not so much in any way that would have interested Maxwell, but rather when an antenna is blown off path due to loose or under-rated mounting hardware. Ask me about it !

The bad ozone is the common name for ground ozone. This ozone is a secondary pollutant.

We can stop CFC's by using their alternatives. A ban has to be placed.

The ozone layer protects us from harmful uv rays reaching the earth's surface and it reradiates back the 20% of the sun's heat waves.

CFC's contain Chlorine and Fluorine. They react with ozone and deplete it.

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.

Nature IS the environment.

The ozone layer protects animals from cancer, mutation, loss of food, loss of natural habitat.

solution for ozne layer?

to stop the ozone we must not burn fuel and plastics

what it does to affect the ozone layer is lets of an oxygen that burns away the ozone layer.

It depends on where the ozone is. Ozone decreased at ground level is good for us.

The ozone hole happened when CFC's introduced. It caused due to depleting property of CFC's.

problems vary from inflammation in the lining of the lungs, chronic lung diseases, aggravates asthma, reduce lung functioning, and irritates respiratory system...

The stratosphere protects the Earth from most all harmful radiation. The nitrogen and oxygen absorb UV-C and more energetic radiation, and the ozone formed by some oxygen absorbing UV-C... in turn absorbs UV-B (which damages DNA).

Yes, it does. It releases gases which can cause ozone depletion.

Absolutely not.

Photochemical Smog is any chemical reaction that takes place with the presence of sunlight. The most common example is Ground-level Ozone, caused by reactions of common pollutants along with their reaction to the sunlight.

no, it is too low in the atmosphere.

Aerosols are harming the ozone. They contain the synthetic CFC's.
