Atmospheric Factors Affecting Climate

Click the bold words (Atmospheric Factors Affecting Climate) above.

O-Zone

There are many ways o-zone can help us and also hurt us.O-zone is a molecule with 3 oxygen atoms instead of the average 2. O-zone helps us because these o-zone molecules absorb harmful UV rays. These UV rays are short electromagnetic waves from the sun that causes to inflict sunburn on our skin. O-zone hurts us because the o-zone molecules in our atmosphere are breaking down and and we are losing much our protection from UV rays. O-zone depletion is very dangerous. There is a chemical in the atmosphere called chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's for short). When UV rays come in contact with the CFC's a chlorine atom breaks off the CFC and combines with o-zone molecules, knocking off one of the oxygen atoms of the o-zone molecule. This happens throughout the atmosphere. This process is called o-zone depletion. This process hurts us because with less o-zone molecules protecting us from the UV rays there is most likely to be more of a chance for our skin to be inflicted by the heat and cause a bad sunburn. In conclusion, those are some of the ways o-zone can help us and hurt us.

London-Type Smog

London-Type Smog is caused by coal smoke. The term "smog" is when smoke and fog are combined. London-Type Smog is formed when fragments of coal smoke combine with humid air containing droplets of water. In London, England, most houses were warmed by coal. This factor caused the coal smoke to flea into the air. From the cause of London-Type Smog people in London began to burn less coal. Burning coal is the main cause of this issue.
