    The document discusses the ozone layer and enhanced greenhouse effect. It explains that before 1980, ozone levels were never observed below 290 Dobson units but CFCs released into the atmosphere break down the ozone layer. This has led to the formation of an ozone layer hole. It also describes how the natural greenhouse effect that warms the Earth has been enhanced by human activities like burning fossil fuels, agriculture, land clearing, and cement production, causing air temperatures to increase 0.85 degrees Celsius since 1880 and sea levels to rise approximately 1.8mm per year from 1961-2003.

    GREENHOUSE AND

    OXONE LAYER
    By Lauren, Oliver and Lucy.
    THE OZONE LAYER
    Natural Ozone levels before 1980, scientists
    never observed less than 290 Dobson units.
    REASONS FOR OZONE DEPLETION
    CFCs BREAK DOWN OZONE LAYER

    CCl3F CFC 11

    OZONE LAYER HOLE
    The introduction of chlorinated
    compounds has accelerated the
    destruction of ozone
    GREENHOUSE EFFECT
    Natural process of warming the earths
    surfaces
    ENHANCED GREENHOUSE EFFECT
    BURNING FOSSIL FUELS

    Creating cement

    ENHANCED GREENHOUSE EFFECT:
    FACTS
    Air temperature: has increased, globally
    by 0.85 degrees Celsius since 1880.
    Global sea levels have increased
    approx. 1.8mm per year (1961-2003)
