How much lightning would it take to get the Ozone layer back to normal?

Answer 1

That a great question actually one of the best i have come up with.

Yes it is a true fact that during the lightening ozone is formed. However the ozone layer is vast beyond the amount of the ozone present in the ozone layer. The amount of ozone which is present and the ozone which is formed during the lightening can be compared to a grain in front of a huge pile of grain containing large amount of it actually tonnes of it. So the amount of ozone prepared in the process goes into the ozone layer but the amount of the replenishment of ozone is very minor. Too minor to be observed.

Answer 2

Lightning creates small amounts of ozone in the lower atmosphere. The ozone we refer to as the ozone layer is not really a layer, but a gas mixed in the upper atmosphere. If compressed to a single layer, it would be only a few millimeters thick, but is naturally found over a wide range of altitudes.

The only thing that we need to make ozone is oxygen and sunlight. As long as these two ingredients are in our atmosphere, we will produce ozone. The hole repairs itself annually after the sun returns to the Antarctic within a few weeks of the sun's return. This is a normal and annual process that has gone on for centuries.

Answer 3

It would not be possible to restore the ozone layer by introducing lightning. Ozone depletion is primarily caused by human-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromine compounds. The best way to help the ozone layer recover is by continuing to reduce emissions of these harmful substances.

Answer 4

it doesn't
