Question 6/Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) (04.04 MC) How would increased chorollucrocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world? Utraviolet light will increase on Earth's surface. II will raise temperatures and decrease plant populations OUtraviolet light will decrease on Earth's surface. II will lower temperatures and decrease plant populations Outraviolet light will decrease on Earth's surface. It will lower temperatures and increase plant populations OUtraviolet light will increase on Earth's surface. It will raise temperatures and increase plant populations

Increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere lead to the depletion of the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When the ozone layer is depleted, more UV light reaches Earth's surface.<br /><br />The correct answer is:<br /><br />Ultraviolet light will increase on Earth's surface. It will raise temperatures and decrease plant populations.<br /><br />This is because increased UV radiation can harm plant tissues, reduce photosynthesis, and ultimately decrease plant populations. Additionally, while UV radiation itself doesn't directly raise temperatures, the overall impact of CFCs and other greenhouse gases can contribute to climate change, which may affect temperatures.
