I WONDER - Do Greenhouse Gases Affect The Ozone Layer?

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane, released from burning fossil fuels and deforestation, accumulate in the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing global warming. This leads to rising global temperatures, melting ice caps, and increased forest fire risks. Additionally, these gases can damage the ozone layer, creating holes that reduce our protection from the sun.

What are two main sources of greenhouse gases mentioned in the video?

• Solar flares and wind patterns

• Volcanic eruptions and ocean currents

• Animal respiration and photosynthesis

• Burning fossil fuels and deforestation

What is the primary effect of greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere?

• They decrease ocean salinity

• They increase rainfall

• They trap heat, leading to global warming

• They cause earthquakes

Which of the following is a consequence of global warming mentioned in the video?

• Decreased plant growth

• Melting ice caps

• Increased volcanic activity

• Increased ocean acidity

How do greenhouse gases affect the ozone layer?

• They strengthen it

• They make it more reflective

• They have no effect

• They thin it or create larger holes

What is the consequence of a thinner ozone layer as mentioned in the video?

• Increased protection from the sun

• More frequent rainbows

• Reduced protection from the sun

• Higher oxygen levels
