Examine the four-graph image. [Image: A series of four line graphs depicting the timeline of changing ODS and ozone concentrations between 1960 and 2100 (with extrapolation). The first graph depicts the measured and extrapolated changes in ODS emissions, including several different chlorine- and bromine- containing compounds. The second graph depicts atmospheric changes in these compounds. The third graph depicts changes in total global ozone, and the fourth graph depicts changes in Antarctic total ozone in October.] (Courtesy of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]) Which statements about the difference between the timeline in graph (a) versus graph (b) are accurate? Select three options.
Answer
A
Even after ODS emissions decrease, the molecules can remain in the atmosphere for decades.
B
When ODS emissions decrease, the concentration of molecules in the atmosphere decreases in tandem.
C
ODS molecules can remain in the atmosphere for decades, but most eventually break down.
D
The concentration of all ODS molecules in the atmosphere will decrease to the same extent.
E
The concentration of different ODS molecules in the atmosphere will decrease to different extents.
