Chlorofluorocarbons are a class of organic compounds that were used as propellants in the late 20th century. The problem with CFC's is that they attack the ozone layer, breaking it down. The weakened ozone layer is not able to stop UV light from reaching the earth, so the amount of UV light reaching the earth increases. This results in increased temperatures, and the death of vegetation.

Therefore, the answer is B.

Ultraviolet light will increase on earth's surface. It will "raise" temperatures and decrease plant populations. Actually UV rays do not increase temperature, that's wrong.

They cause mutations in several organisms as they modify their DNA. They also cause skin cancer in humans and also cataracts and sunburns.

But they don't increase temperature. That's carbon dioxide accumulation.

What type of compound is fe3n2

Shkiper50 [21]

Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.

Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.

Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.

The Andes range has many active volcanoes, which are distributed in four volcanic zones separated by areas of inactivity. The Andean volcanism is a result of subduction of the Nazca Plate and Antarctic Plate underneath the South American Plate.
