... . It serves as a protective shield between ultra-violet rays of energy coming from our sun which have been proven to cause skin cancer. And it also is responsible for holding all of Earths oxygen by forming a sphere-like shape around our planet. Therefore our Earth's ozone layer has a very big role in keeping our beautiful planet ... Earth alive. But this particular kind of ozone is infact being destroyed by man today. Scientists have recently found a few holes in our ozone layer. The main of which is located above the south-pole and sized larger than the entire United States. It is bein...

... reality. Often the only evil we observe is the result of sinful choices. But we have to remember that some evil we cannot observe. Pollution is an evil that burns holes in the ozone layer. We know there is a hole in the atmosphere but we do not observe pollution as being evil, we observe it as a fact of life. Along with ... in our lives is frustrating.

... these reactions is sometimes called the "Chapman layer-. Over the last few decades, scientists have found a large ozone hole directly over Antarctica. Ozone holes are mainly caused by the emission of chloroflurocarbon or CFC. CFCs are used mostly as refrigerants, aerosol spray propellants, and solvents in electronic chemistry ... is because they are so stable that they cause problems. Because CFCs do not break down in the atmosphere, they float up and rise for about eighty years until they reach the ozone and break apart by the ultraviolet radiation. CFCs contain one fluorine atom, one ca...

... in the ozone, or eliminate it one hundred percent in certain areas, if a super nova only depleted it twenty percent. Some scientist stress this point to argue how holes in the ozone never really exist. They claim instead that the ozone only thins from its peak from time to time(Howard). Even this claim sounds like a natural ... At eleven year intervals, ozone in the upper atmosphere increase by five percent which suggest the influence of the sunspot cycle. (Ponte-30) Where scientist claim "holes" occupy, natural factors account for entirely. Factors such as temperature, air currents, an...

... of human-made gases in the stratosphere, such as the CFCs, methyl bromide and nitrous oxide. This, in turn, generates reactive "free radicals" that destroy stratospheric ozone. Holes in the Ozone Layer Color-enhanced pictures of the winter-spring polar "ozone hole" on the United States NASA web-site depict an overall loss which had crept ... satellite measuring systems allowed reliable measurement of UVR. However, satellite measurements may not accurately reflect ground level UVR due to failure to take adequate account of lower atmospheric changes. For example, satellite estimates sugge...
