The Causes: Effects of Ozone Depletion Cody Tate Buena Vista University Author Note “Prepared for Laura Brauhn’s Globalism Seminar” Abstract This paper will explore what exactly ozone depletion is. It will talk about the definition of ozone depletion and what some of the things are that causes it. This paper will connect global warming with ozone depletion. This paper will give you examples of both biological and environmental. The main thing this paper will talk about is verification

potentially cataclysmic. For the sake of this paper‚ I will take the side of their being bigger environmental issues elsewhere. One the main reasons I believe there are bigger issues is because we simply do not have enough data to back up the ozone depletion theory. The first time the ozone was even discovered was in 1839 by Swiss chemist‚ Christian Schonbein‚ but it wasn’t measured reliably until 1918 by Robert Strutt. Having only 100 years of evidence‚ considering how old the earth is reported to

Excessive Use of Natural Resources Leads to Depletion In The End. I. Industrial development destroys the environment by left over and residue materials such as: | a. High concentrations of metals; b. Toxic substances and chemically changed minerals; c. Debris and litter; d. Radioactive infected ground at industrial sites. | II. Large-scale soil erosion because surface soil washes away due to influencing water tides and winds streams. | a. Intensive plowing and draining of farm

1. Introduction The Minister of Housing and Local Government‚ Datuk Sri Kong Cho Ha mentioned that the local authorities spent about RM 1 billion a year to manage solid wastes. He said that in 2002‚ Malaysian generated 17‚000 tonnes of solid wastes daily ‚ 19‚000 in 2005 and it is estimated to increase to 30‚000 tonnes by 2020.(Bernama 2010) Malaysia has been bugged with a never ending issue on solid wastes. This problem is more critical in major cities and in areas with high density. In the

Ozone Depletion Good morning to our lecturer and my fellow friends. Today I want to deliver a speech on title “Ozone Depletion”. Did you know that about 20 kilometres from the earth’s surface there is a thin layer of gas forming just a small fraction of the earth’s atmosphere‚ without which harmful radiation from the sun would destroy all life on this planet? This is the ozone layer‚ which filters out harmful ultraviolet-B rays. Today‚ because of our negligence‚ the ozone layer is depleting.

Ozone depletion Ozone depletion describes two distinct but related phenomena observed since the late 1970s: a steady decline of about 4% per decade in the total volume of ozone in Earth’sstratosphere (the ozone layer)‚ and a much larger springtime decrease in stratospheric ozone over Earth’s polar regions. The latter phenomenon is referred to as the ozone hole. In addition to these well-known stratospheric phenomena‚ there are also springtime polar tropospheric ozone depletion events. The details

our forests. Some of these include cleaner drinking water‚ a home for plants and animals‚ economic growth‚ clean air‚ recreational opportunities‚ reassuring future. Another benefit we get from trees is called oxygen. If there were no trees to give us oxygen to breath‚ we would not be able to live. So if you need one good reason why a forest should exist‚ staying alive is a pretty good reason. CAUSES OF THE PROBLEM Forests have many resources that people can use to raise their living standards.

The ozone depletion The ozone depletion‚ or ozone hole is a big problem which affects the environment and also all the people on earth. But what is it? Does this problem have a solution? And what are governments doing to reach this solution? The ozone layer is a belt of naturally occurring ozone gas that sits 15 to 30 kilometers above Earth and serves as a shield from the ultraviolet B radiation emitted by the sun which are very dangerous. Now‚ the problem is that the release of pollution

Overview of water resources in Pakistan The total land area of Pakistan is approximately 310‚322 square miles or 88 million hectares of land‚ of which approximately 20 million heaters are used for agriculture purposes. The river system of Indus and its tributaries provides Pakistan some of the most fertile land in the Indian subcontinent. Under the Indus Water Basin Treaty of 1960 three eastern rivers namely: Sutlej‚ Beas and Ravi were allocated to India for its exclusive use. The Treaty gives

barrier and absorbs majority of UV radiation before it hits Earth’s surface. Ozone is made up of three oxygen atoms that are naturally occurring molecules. The depletion of the ozone has become a worldwide issue and is caused by the release of CFCs into the atmosphere. CFCs release chlorine atoms which break down ozone molecules. The depletion of the ozone layer threatens to leave life on Earth unprotected from UV radiation. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) contain chlorine‚ fluorine and carbon atoms. CFCs
