Answer:

Ozone is formed in the stratosphere naturally.

High energy solar radiation strike the oxygen atoms O2, the two atoms split apart. The freed atom collides with another oxygen atom O2 forming O3 (Ozone)

Ozone layer is destroyed when chloroflourocarbons and halons.

CFCs and halons cause chemical reactions that break down ozone molecules. Consequences ofnozone depletion are that UV radiations are not filtered and they reach the earth causing damage to eyes and skin.

Explanation:

Ozone layer is a protective layer which protects from UV damaging radiations. It is formed when oxygen atoms are broken down by photolysis and a freed oxygen atom combines with another amd form O3.

Ozone is being depleted now because chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons—gases found in aerosol spray cans and refrigerants—are released into the atmosphere they decrease the ozone's ultraviolet radiation-absorbing capacity.Ozone layer depletion causes increased UV radiation levels at the Earth's surface, which is damaging to human health. Negative effects include skin cancers, eye cataracts and immune deficiency disorders.

dolphi86 [110]
D.) Is the most sensible answer.

Explanation: I used the process of elimination to solve this. Groundwater recharge sounds too far off of the topic, snow melt is...well...melting snow, infiltration also has nothing to do with the subject, but surface runoff is the only one that makes sense, is on topic, and seems to have a meaning similar to the occurrences describes in your question.

The species that is known as a robin in England has a yellow breast, and another species that is known as a robin in the United
inn [45]

Answer:

C. Different species can share the same common name.

Explanation:

These animals, though likely to belong to the same genus are clearly different species and have different phenotypes i.e yellow breast and red breast. They belong to different species and yet they are called a robin in both the United states of America and in England. That is why in science, the binary system is preferred to using common names
