A.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Stratosphere zone of earth's atmosphere contains a layer of ozone (O3) which prevents the earth surface from about 99% of incoming solar ultraviolet radiations. The primary chemicals responsible for ozone depletion are a group of chlorine containing compounds called chloroflourocarbons (CFCs) used as coolants in refrigerators and air conditioners and propellants for aerosol cans and foam blowing agents for insulation and packaging and also as solvents. After their release into troposphere CFCs go to stratosphere when these are broken down by ultraviolet radiations releasing chlorine or bromine which break O3 molecules into O2 and O.
Due to depletion of O3 layer, higher levels of ultra violet rays reach earth surface. Depletion in the concentration of ozone over a restricted area is called ozone hole. Ozone depletions results in problems like skin cancer, cataract animals becoming blind, mutations, inhibiting photosynthesis, decreases in productivity. Decreased photosynthetic activity will increase depletion of O3 layer, higher levels of ultra violet rays reach earth surface. Depletion in the concentration of ozone over a restricted area is called ozone hole. Ozone depletions results in problems like skin cancer, cataract animals becoming blind, mutations, inhibiting photosynthesis, decreases in productivity.
Decreased photosynthetic activity will increase O3 concentration of the atmosphere resulting in global warming. Besides CFCs, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons are also responsible for O2 depletion concentration of the atmosphere resulting in global warming. Besides CFCs, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbons are also responsible for O3 depletion
Assertion: The concentration of methane in the atmosphere has more than doubled in the last 250 years.
Reason: Wetlands and rice fields are the major sources of methane.
