1. How would a weaker jet stream help to cause extreme flooding?
a. It would allow storm systems to stall in an area.
b. It would cause increased evaporation.
c. It would create thicker clouds.
d. It would create high winds that move storm systems.
2. What would happen if some of the world’s countries broke the Montreal Protocol and industry began manufacturing and using chlorofluorocarbons again? In 3–5 sentences, describe the effect of this action on Earth’s atmosphere and surface.

Scientists have observed that the reduced temperature difference between the North Pole and tropics is associated with slower west-to-east jet stream movement and a greater north-south dip in its path. This pattern causes storms to stall and intensify, rather than move away as they normally used to do. At midlatitudes, more extreme weather results from this new pattern, including droughts, floods, colds spells, and heat waves.
Without the Montreal Protocol, the ozone layer would deteriorate. This would cause more UV to hit Earth's surface. Heating up the surface along with the atmosphere. This increase in radiation would cause cancer, and kill most plants and animals. All life would die with the exception of deep-sea organisms.
