Geography

Molodets [167]3 years ago

<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.

Qual a densidade demográfica média da europa? Ela e alta ou baixa?
valentina_108 [34]

The population density of Europe, as a whole, is 143 people per square mile. This makes Europe the second most densely populated continent in the world, with the first place being occupied bu Asia, so we can say that Europe is a densely populated continent as a whole.

It has to be taken in notice that Europe is a continent that has an aging population, the fertility rate is very low, and the life expectancy is high. Interestingly enough, even though there's only three countries in the whole continent that have a positive fertility rate, the population of the continent is still growing, slowly, by 0.3% annually, but it is growing. The growth is mainly because of the migrants, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, and apart from increasing the number of the population with their entry, they also tend to have a high fertility rate.
