Solvent contains chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons which can evaporate and damage the ozone layer. True or false
Drupady [299]

The statement is - True.

The solvent do contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) which evaporate and enter the atmosphere. Because they are very light, the CFC and HCFC manage to get very high into the atmosphere, reaching the ozone layer in the stratosphere. They are actually the two substances that are the most damaging to ozone layer, as once they get in touch with it, they break down its structure, thus creating the ozone holes.

The ozone is crucial for the survival of the living organisms on the Earth as it is the layer that manages to stop most of the ultraviolet rays form the Sun to reach the surface. Because of that, these two substances have to be replaced quickly as the ozone layer is becoming more and more damaged, and that can eventually lead to a tragedy.

It is common for volcanoes to trigger many other natural hazards. What are possible outcomes from volcanic eruptions?
-BARSIC- [3]
<span>The answer is all of the above;

Volcanic eruptions can cause debris to flows and make earthquakes happen because of the instability it can bring to the land during lava flow. Lava can also carry some objects to different places.

Another result would be floods and landslides. Volcanic eruptions can pull out trees and plants that can cause erosion and floods. There would be insufficient plants left to consume water from heavy rains. Lava can also cause wildfires in forests.

With increasing distance from an oceanic ridge, the rocks become older. the rocks become younger. the rocks' ages alternate betw
never [62]

Answer:

Option (1)

False

Explanation:

The mid-oceanic ridge is one of the main features in the divergent plate boundary. Seafloor spreading takes place along this ridge, where the lithosphere becomes thin because of the uprising magma. The magma erupts at the surface forming a ridge which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge.

As the magma melts at this ridge due to the decompression process, it solidifies and forms young basaltic igneous rocks. These are geologically the youngest rocks. With the increasing distance right from the mid-oceanic ridge, the age of the rocks increases.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

At this mid-oceanic ridge, when the magma erupts at the seafloor, it is comprised of magnetic minerals, which shows a specific pattern in the orientation of the earth's magnetic polarity. This forms alternate stripes, that starts from the mid-oceanic ridge and eventually expand outward. This pattern of earth's magnetic polarity is found in all the mid-oceanic ridges on earth.

Hence the given statement is false.
