Well most of what u red is a lie. The ozone layer is caused where the solar winds and the magnetic field collides. What they told u was at a specific time of the year they rush to the south pole to eat a hole in the ozone. The CFC are not intelligent. U are supposed to be intelligent and don’t believe everything that u are told. AS the solar winds come toward the earth all the solar winds are ionized particles. The particles are attracted to the magnetic poles. The beta particles are attracted to the north pole making it negative. The alpha particles are attracted to the south pole and that makes it positive. This a huge amount of current to flow through the ozone layer. The holes happen at a precise time of year depending on the tilt to the earth to the sun. The hole in the ozone layer are over the poles and there is no direct line from the sun to habituated areas. The radiation want get to u.

CFCs or Chlorofluoro Compounds have been proven to damage the atmosphere since 1974. The montreal protocal was crated in 1985 to restrict the use of CFCs after scientists observed a large depletion of the ozone layer above antartica. SO “C” good luck!

C.

“For over 50 years, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were thought of as miracle substances. They are stable, nonflammable, low in toxicity, and inexpensive to produce. Over time, CFCs found uses as refrigerants, solvents, foam blowing agents, and in other smaller applications. Other chlorine-containing compounds include methyl chloroform, a solvent, and carbon tetrachloride, an industrial chemical. Halons, extremely effective fire extinguishing agents, and methyl bromide, an effective produce and soil fumigant, contain bromine. All of these compounds have atmospheric lifetimes long enough to allow them to be transported by winds into the stratosphere. Because they release chlorine or bromine when they break down, they damage the protective ozone layer. The discussion of the ozone depletion process below focuses on CFCs, but the basic concepts apply to all of the ozone-depleting substances (ODS).”

oi Hana H u r wrong

greenhouse effect and the ozone layer r 2 completely different things.

Greenhouse effect is all the greenhouse gases creating a layer around the earths atmosphere, causing the earth to heat up…the ozone layer protects the earth from UV rays. This hole in the ozone layer is found near Antarctica and a major factor of this is CFCs or Chloroflourocarbons … they come from fridges πŸ˜€

BTW the answer is C

have u ever heard of the green house effect

thats why

is toxic and is puting holes in co2 is what comes out of cars why do think theres been a hybird crisis
