Can the hole in the ozone layer be closed?

Answer 1

Yes, it closes up naturally after the sun returns to the area each spring. Without the sun, it is impossible to maintain the levels of ozone at the poles, thus the thinning occurs each winter until the "hole" occurs late winter or early spring. As long as we have sunlight and oxygen, the hole will close each year naturally.

Answer 2

The ozone hole is not actually a hole. It is the thinning of the ozone layer below a certain concentration. This ozone concentration is decreased due to excessive use of ozone depleting substances. If we reduce the use of these, we can actually help in reducing the ozone hole.

Answer 3

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.

Answer 4

There is no hole in the ozone layer. It is just the thinning the the layer's concentration below a certain level. And the thinning is still there.

Answer 5

when a cow farts because the cow has toxic inside of their farts.Which makes holes in the ozone layer.Or dangerous chemicals

Answer 6

Ozone layer is being depleted. This lowers it's concentration, thus causing ozone hole.

Answer 7

The hole is not actually a hole. So it does not open or close.

Answer 8

The hole in the ozone layer opens up with the CFC's depleting it. When the ozone replenishes, it closes automatically.
