Holes in the Ozone Layer are causing temperatures in Stream Flow to Rise









Because of the ozone layer our earth is heating up, and scientist have found a green house gas that may cause the temperature to change with the stream flow of rivers and streams amongst the forests. It warms up the water sheds making it alternate stream flow. Forest Service scientists have data to see what is the ozone layer is doing to the stream flow in the dry seasons. Because of the temperatures are heating up there is less stream flow in the forest watersheds. This is happening in the southern east of the United States. So this happens in the late summer where the stream flow is at its lowest and its happening in the Appalachian Mountains where the ozone layer is its strongest. The ozone layer is also reducing water from trees. So the ozone layer can reduce plants from getting water and because there is less water it can cause a drought. And water might not even be available for humans.

 I have learned a lot from this article. It makes me realize how much of an impact of how big global warming is. We have a very thin layer of ozone layer and we want to save as much as we can of it. So this is a message to everyone, to try and stay green and save electricity, use other ways to get around like riding a bike, and keep on planting more beautiful plants and trees.
