What are "holes" in the ozone layer?

• places where the ozone concentrations are lower than under normal conditions, allowing more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.

• places where the ozone concentrations are higher than under normal conditions, allowing more UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.

• places where the ozone concentrations are higher than under normal conditions, allowing lessUV radiation to reach the Earth's surface.

Which of the following is the most common ozone destroying pollutants?

• Chloroflurocarbons

• particular matter

• Nitrogen dioxide

• carbon monoxide

The greenhouse effect is caused by

• more heat arriving at the Earth from the sun

• the Earth releasing more heat at night

• gases in the air trapping heat released by the Earth
