What organisms produce the oxygen in Earth?
Almost all green plants, but especially the cyanobacteria and phytoplankton (microscopic plants) that occur in the oceans.
What would happen is the atmosphere didn't contain the ozone layer?
UV radiation would then be able to make it to the earth, whereas now about 98% is absorbed by ozone. This would be very damaging to all life. The earth would likely become uninhabitable between the direct damage to people and the destruction of all life that we depend on.
Where is most of earth's ozone?
Most of the earth's ozone is in the atmosphere. It is in the form of ozone layer.
How much does the ozne layer deplete every year?
Depending on the proximity to the sun and the solar activity the thining (misrepresented as a hole) varies each year. The largest single hole was recorded in 1838 over the Southern Hemisphere.
Low solar flares over the past few years has caused a smaller the average hole for the short time it occurs during the polar winter over each pole. As our orbit goes back to a more elliptical pattern, we will continue to see a shrinking southern thinning area and the Northern issue becoming larger. This appears to be related to the Milankovich effect, much like our current pattern of overall ice growth in the southern hemeisphere while we see ice loss in the northern.
What are the properties of CFCs that make them useful?
CFC's are useful to man. They act as coolants.
If the impurity concentration is increased how the depletion width effected?
depletion layer decreases
Where maximum concentration of pollutant near earth surface is observed?
Maximum concentration of pollutants near the Earth's surface is typically observed in urban areas, particularly in industrial regions and cities with high traffic density. This is due to emissions from vehicles, factories, and other human activities that release pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds. Additionally, atmospheric conditions, such as temperature inversions, can trap these pollutants close to the ground, exacerbating air quality issues.
What was the amount of cfcs from the 1900s and the prediction in 2050?
The amount of CFC's was not there in 1900. It began increasing. 2050 depends on how we continue using it.
What damages the ozone layer the most?
Chlorofluorocarbon gases (CFCs) eat the ozone layer alive where we use it everyday for industrial processes although the ozone layer can repair Itself.
Another answer:
The number one reason ozone thins in our atmosphere is due to a lack of sunlight. Without this energy, ozone naturally will decay into oxygen molecules. This is why the hole in the ozone layer only appears over the poles and then only at the end of the winter months at each pole. Once the sun returns, these holes quickly disappear.
What has earth's ozone layer been doing?
The ozone layer is in fact our world's safety net against radiation. We are destroying it daily with our many mistakes involving chemicals and pollution. It has holes in it that are allowing radiation to penetrate our precious earth. Without the ozone layer and what it does, we would not have been able to be born.
What would be the consequence of removing all of the ozone in earth's air supply?
If all the ozone was removed, there will be no life. The UV will end all living organisms.
How can the ozone be replenished?
Ozone layer can be replenished by avoiding the use of CFCs. In the absence of these chemicals, the ozone layer will replenish itself.
How does NO2 contribute to tropospheric ozone?
NO2 can be part of troposphere ozone. It can be decomposed and react with oxygen to form ozone.
What does the ozone layer help protects us from?
The ozone layer protects us from UV rays. These are ultraviolet rays that are very harmful.
What is the role of ozone in earths atmosphere?
See "What does the ozone layer do?" in the "Related questions" section below.
Yes. Be very careful, because it hurts a lot!
they can i think but usually tend to be good natured.....you usually wouldn't see or hold a sloth they don't come out to often
Yes they can, I was bitten in Costa Rica but I believe its intention was to keep from falling when it was hanging from My arm. I was removing it from a road. Its best to pick them up from behind with on hand under each of his arms. The bite bled pretty good. And consisted of two puncture wounds about an inch apart. It really did not hurt to bad for long just when it latched a hold of me. I cleaned it thoroughly with soap and water and applied antibiotic ointment. So far I have not had a desire to clime trees and eat leaves. But My girlfriend says I am moving slower.
Gas responsible for ozone layer depletion?
The gas responsible for ozone depletion is CFC. It reacts with ozone to deplete it.
What part gets slanting rays of the sun in June?
In June, the Northern Hemisphere receives slanting rays of the sun, particularly during the summer solstice around June 21. This occurs because the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight in regions north of the equator. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere experiences shorter days and less direct sunlight during this time.
Where is the Ozone Park located in the US?
The Ozone Park is a neighborhood in Queens, New York, United States. It is an upper middle class neighborhood with a population in 2000 of 52,275. It was created in 1882.
