The supersonic jets cause pollution by thinning of:

A

`CO_(2)` layer

B

`SO_(2)` layer

C

`O_(2)` layer

D

`O_(3)` layer

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. It protects us from the harmful UV radiations coming from the sun. The supersonic aircrafts flying at stratospheric heights cause major disturtances in ozone level due to release of CFCs which reacts with `O_(3)` present there, thus cause thinning of `O_(3)` layer.
