Question
per capita consumption of various fuels
what is the most likely result of this increased use of fossil fuels?
a. more acid precipitation forming
b. a larger hole in the ozone layer
c. fewer trees being cut down for houses
Fossil - fuel combustion releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides which react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acids, leading to acid precipitation. Ozone - layer depletion is mainly due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), not fossil - fuel use. Fossil - fuel use has no direct relation to tree - cutting for houses.
