If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Deforestation increases atmospheric CO2 content by releasing carbon stored in organic matter and reduced primary productivity. So deforestation is one of the main factors contributing to global warming other than green house gases. The various green house gases are CO2 (60% warming effect), CH4 (20% warming effect) CFC ( 14% warming effect) and nitrogen oxide (N2O 6% warming effect). Due to increase of CO2 concentration, the absorption of heat radiation also increase thus increasing the temperature. This increase in temperature may causes melting of glacier and polar ice caps, which is called global warming. This melting of glaciers and polar ice results in raising the sea level. Actually these green house gases absorbs infra red radiations (heat) of the sun like glass and thus traps the heat and does not allow it to radiate back to the space. They instead radiate the heat back to earth, thus causing increase in temperature
Assertion: UV radiation causes photodissociation of ozone into O2 and O3 thus causing damage to the stratospheric ozone layer.
Reason: Ozone hole is resulting in global warming and climate change.
