The depletion of the ozone layer PART II The depletion of the ozone layer is not influenced by global warming process even though both of them are environmental challenges that have similar causes which are human activities associated with the emission of pollutants into the air which cause alterations. Global warming is influenced by the emission of excess carbon monoxide during the burning of oil, natural gas or coal to develop electricity and powering automobiles (Francioni, F., & Bakker, C., 2016). Such activities lead to the production of pollutants which are deposited on the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide provides a covering blanket effect on the earth and absorbs the excess infrared radiation hence controls the heat felt on earth.

The ozone layer occupies the upper section of the atmosphere and is responsible for the absorption of the ultraviolet radiation which is a form of solar energy that is destructive to plants, humans, and animals. Human activities contribute to the production of chemicals that degrades…
