<u>Answer:</u>

The CFC’s damage the Ozone layer by breaking down the molecules that make up the Ozone layer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The ultra-violet rays radiated by the sun react with the chlorofluorocarbons to release "free chlorine atoms" in the atmosphere.
  • These free chlorine atoms react with oxygen from the ozone to form diatomic or molecular oxygen. This process continues and further destroys the ozone layer resulting in its depletion.
  • The ozone molecules are capable of keeping harmful UV rays away from the earth's atmosphere. But the molecular oxygen fails to do that, thus allowing harmful UV rays to enter the earth's atmosphere.

Make some inferences as to why you feel the Southern Colonies had the most slaves and why New England had the fewest (hint: cons
Fed [463]

Answer:

The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and had a flatter geography.

The New England Colonies in the North had rocky soil and had hills/mountains inland which made them more on the industry side (this is also how the Union won the Civil War later on, the North was able to manufacture things while the South had mostly agricultural plantations). There wasn't much use for slaves in a factory, and much more in the South where plantations and large farms were.

The North was very religious besides Pennsylvania where the Quakers resided.

The South barely was religious because your nearest neighbor would be a few farms over, so you don't really converse with them much.

They knew that once invoked, the executive benefit would shield Bush from investigations.  The Bush Administration invoked executive privileges six times. During each time it had done so, it concerned investigations steaming from the war on terror to meeting with government officials as well requiring members of his team to testify.
