Atmosphere and Ozone Layer Review

Which does NOT have CFCs?

• Air conditioners

• Refrigerators

• Microwaves

• Fire extinguishers

The ozone hole does not look the same throughout the year. The best explanation for this is...

• The angle the satellite took its readings could not gather the data from where the ozone hole is located over Antarctica

• The tilt of the Earth as it relates to its seasons causes a rise and fall in the ozone concentration in Antarctica

• The tilt of the Earth causes the excess ozone to roll over the surface of the Earth away from Antarctica and towards the Arctic

• The type of beam that satellites have isn’t used to collect ozone data
