There is no connection between the two issues. The thinning of the ozone layer that we see over each pole during their winters is an event caused by CFCs and other halogen gases releasing chlorine and bromine, as well as a lack of sun hitting that layer. Once the daylight returns, the hole gradually fills up.
The main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide and methane (and water vapour) have no effect on the ozone layer. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are also greenhouse gases, however, and they do affect the ozone layer.
More details below.
The definition of a greenhouse gas is a gas which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This is a natural process whereby gasses such as carbon dioxide and water vapour trap the sun's rays in the Earth's atmosphere.
This occurs because initially, the sun's rays are very short waves of light and heat. These do not reflect off greenhouse gases. After warming the Earth's surface, the waves lengthen and are trapped by greenhouse gases.
The ozone layer is constantly being depleted and regenerated by natural means. Ozone is O3 (three oxygen molecules), and when struck by UV light is is decomposed into plain oxygen, and the UV light is prevented from striking the Earth's surface. Conversely, ozone is constantly being made by UV light hitting oxygen molecules; this process keeps the amount of ozone fairly constant.
Human intervention with the release of gases such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which bind themselves to ozone and create oxygen have tipped the balance, causing the holes in the Ozone layer. CFCs are the only greenhouse gasses that affect the ozone layer.
It is important to realise that these are largely two unrelated concepts. Ozone prevents the majority of UV rays hitting the Earth, protecting living things. Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, sustaining conditions conducive to life at night time when there is no sun (contrast this to Mars where temp reaches less than -180 degrees Celsius).
Again, it is important to realise the distinction between the greenhouse effect and global warming. The Greenhouse Effect is the natural process, whereas Global warming describes how changes to the composition of the atmosphere by humans will intensify this natural process, causing a warming of mean temperatures.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.
Fuels release greenhouse gases. These gases can cause ozone depletion.
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
Ozone layer has many holes in it. However it has a considerable major hole in it above Antartica continent. It is formed due to CFC gas. Beacuse of the hole there is an increase in the temperature of earth.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, carbon tetrachloride, and methyl chloroform are examples of greenhouse gases that can affect the ozone layer. These gases contain chlorine or bromine atoms that can chemically react with ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to ozone depletion.
Ozone Depletion... when greenhouse gases put holes in the ozone layer.
Airplanes release greenhouse gases. They can cause ozone depletion.
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
The ozone is depleted due to greenhouse gases. Pollution causes these greenhouse gases.
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. However there is little connection between the greenhouse effect and the ozone layer.
Gases are many that can contribute to ozone. Greenhouse gases to be mentioned here.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.
Yes they do. they release greenhouse gases which affect ozone.
Greenhouse gases destroy ozone. They can cause ozone depletion.
Fuels release greenhouse gases. These gases can cause ozone depletion.
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
