Question

explain how natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, solar activity, and air movements affect ozone levels in the stratosphere.

Answer 1

The natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, solar activity, and air movements affects the ozone levels indirectly by increasing chlorine's effectiveness at destroying ozone.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Stratosphere is the second layer form the surface of earth extending from 10 km to 50 km. The airplanes fly in the lowermost region of stratosphere.
• The ozone layer in the stratosphere is the guiding shield of UV rays from sunlight, it is destroyed by the compounds like chlorine and bromine.
• When the natural process like volcanic eruption occurs then particles like aerosols are produced.
• These aerosols increases the activity of chlorine and its effectiveness for the destruction of ozone.
