ES-Atmosphere
Ozone depletion
3)Cl collides with an ozone molecule
4) Steals an O atom to form chlorine monoxide and form a diatomic oxygen molecule
1) CFCS are stuck by UV radiation
5) Monatomic oxygen collides with the chlorine monoxide
2) causes chlorine molecule to break away
6) Two oxygen molecules react and form diatomic oxygen. Chlorine is free to destroy more ozone
Management of Ozone
Safe disposal of CFCS
Incineration of CFCS
Alternative gasses- HFCs
Alternatives such as HFCS
Montreal protocol
El nino
Floods and heavy rain, drought in australia
Less fish in SA
Less money and food
How to accurately collect Data
Proxy data--> Estimate based on past measurements
Historical Data->books etc. Subjective
Modern methods-> Satellite monitoring, Buoys and Argo floats
Ecological issues with climate change
More erosion so coastal habitats will be poorly effected and have to migrate
La nIna
Worldwide impacts on weather as everything is connected
Circulation is very similar to normal conditions but stronger
Cryosphere
Jetstream- fast moving band of air high up in the atmosphere
Jetstreams are moving closer to the poles, warmer air
Slower movement can cause longer seasons causing droughts
Polar regions are warming faster due to changes in the jetstream
Thermohaline circulation
The movement of water depends on the temperature More salinity so more dense.
