correct answer for each of the questions. (1.0 point)
Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First, we’ll touch on
the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is
the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light
from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper
atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. The problem now is that too much
of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are
contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses
are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for
some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to
the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next time.
