Which of the following chemicals is implicated in both global warming and ozone depletion?a. chlorofluorocarbons b. sulfur dioxi
Bingel [31]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbons generally abbreviated as CFCs are a group of organic chemicals used in several household and industrial materials and are responsible for global warming and ozone depletion.

Global warming is the general increase in the atmospheric temperature of the earth continually over the years. It is a direct consequence of climate change which is caused by the continuous release of green house gases into the atmosphere which trap radiated heat from the sun.

Ozone depletion involves anthropogenic activities which lead to decreasing the natural spread of the ozone layer which prevents the direct contact between the sun UV radiation and the earth.

CFCs are implicated in both cases as they are responsible for the two I.e they cause global warming and also deplete the ozone layer. Years back they are basically used in most aerosol cans like perfumes spray, insecticide spray etc. However as a result of the increased knowledge of their dangers, there had been legislations which had cut down on their continuous usage with alternatives being used

uysha [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Produces wind currents

Explanation:

The Earth's atmosphere which comprises the gases surrounding the Earth when heated up by the heating effect of the Sun creates winds such as land and sea breezes

The kind of forces that produce land and sea breezes results in wind patterns globally that affect climate. The curving masses of air due to the rotation of the Earth results in coriolis effect and trade winds that determines the cyclic (annual) seasons and weather.
