Answer 1

Answer:

Methane and chlorofluorocarbons are two hydrocarbons that can drastically alter the atmosphere. Methane oxides into carbon dioxide (CO2), increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and adding to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

CFCs are used in refrigeration and aerosol cans. When they're released into the atmosphere, they produce chlorine and reduce the ozone layer, which protects the earth from ultraviolet radiation. Because of this, humans, animals and plants are more exposed to harmful UV rays.
