Layer Depletion The latest satellite measurement indicates an ozone loss at the rate of 8% just above the South Pole‚ at the centre of the ozone hole‚ 5% of the protective gas is depleting each day. In 1980‚ a hole in the ozone umbrella was found out by a scientist named Chubachi Shigerui of Meteorological Research Institute of Japan. By the year 1985‚ this hole reached to the size of the American continent. Factors Affecting 03 Layer Depletion The main cause of 03 layer depletion is the

With less ozone in the atmosphere‚ more ultraviolet radiation strikes Earth‚ causing more skin cancer‚ eye damage‚ and possible harm to crops. What is ozone? How did researchers discover its role in Earth ’s atmosphere and the devastating consequences of its depletion? The Problem For four months of every year‚ Antarctica ’s McMurdo Research Station

bearing rock. Many areas on earth have an underlying aquifer‚ which can supply fresh water through the use of a well. Aquifers were first tapped for water in the early 1900 ’s for irrigation. Aquifers were originally believed to be an inexhaustible resource thus humans began tapping them for municipal and industrial uses as well (Aquifer‚ 2007). Now‚ many countries are over pumping aquifers in a struggle to fulfill their growing water supply demands. For example‚ in the United States‚ the water levels

Ozone layer damage is one of them. The objective of this paper is to review the origin‚ causes‚ mechanisms and bio effects of ozone layer depletion as well as the protective measures of this vanishing layer. The chlorofluorocarbon

more each year. As the area of polar ozone depletion (commonly called the ozone hole) gets larger‚ additional ultraviolet rays are allowed to pass through. These rays cause cancer‚ cataracts‚ and lowered immunity to diseases.1 What causes the depletion of the ozone layer? In 1970‚ Crutzen first showed that nitrogen oxides produced by decaying nitrous oxide from soil-borne microbes react catalytically with ozone hastening its depletion. His findings started research on "global biogeochemical

called Ozone Depletion Ozone depletion deals with the steady decline in the concentrations of ozone in the stratosphere due to its faster destruction by chemicals released by man into the environment. Depletion is mainly caused by chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs)‚ halons‚ methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. There substances contain chlorine or‚ bromine which‚ can reach the stratosphere. These elements are capable of catalytically breaking down ozone into oxygen. Ozone depletion can also be caused

The concept of exponential growth is when a value increases by a multiplicative factor per unit of time. This explains population growth. The concept of linear growth is when a value increases by a constant. This clarifies how food production grows. These concepts apply to

Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Exponential Equations (variable in exponent position) 1. Isolate the exponential portion ( base exp onent ): Move all non-exponential factors or terms to the other side of the equation. 2. Take ln or log of each side of the equation. • Make sure to use ln if the base is “e”. Then remember that ln e = 1 . • Make sure to use log if the base is 10. • If the base is neither “e” nor “10”‚ use either ln or log‚ your choice.. 3. Bring the power (exponent)

everything on earth will burn. The ozone layer is just as important to us as oxygen‚ without it the harmful UV radiation would give us server burns and destroy our delicate ecosystems. Even though there is hard evidence that proves that ozone depletion is harmful for organisms on earth‚ there are a few groups who think that the ozone layer is a “myth” aka doesn’t exist‚ others say that with or without the ozone layer life on earth will continue. But‚ they are wrong! Credibility: According to Dr
