Answer: <em>The answer is A (It has gradually decreased in the last couple of years)</em>

  • Over the Earth's surface, the ozone layer's average thickness is about 300 Dobson Units, or a layer that is 3 millimeters thick.

  • The thickness of the ozone layer changes due to increasing concentrations of ozone-depleting substances in the atmosphere.
  • Air motions also increase the ver- tical thickness of the ozone layer near the poles, which increases the value of total ozone in those regions. Tropospheric weather systems can temporarily reduce the thickness of the stratospheric ozone layer in a region, low- ering total ozone at the same time.

  • It is thinning due to the release of man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). The net effect that CFCs have on the ozone layer is to recombine an oxygen atom with an ozone molecule to form two oxygen molecules. From 1978 to 1991, global stratospheric ozone levels have decreased by 3%.

3. Summarize why the definition of species had changed over time
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Originally, the distinction was based on morphological differences. However, it soon became that some types of organisms had different forms at various stages in their lives, here is why

Explanation:

changed genes is passed on to the next generation. Most mutations are bad, but some of them make the organism more successful in its life. Organisms that inherit that favorable new gene are likely to become more abundant than others of the species. (geologic times)
