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

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.

∙ 11y agoLightning 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.

What is bad about the holes in the ozone?
The Ozone layer protects us from the sun. If we didn't have the Ozone layer, our Earth would burn up as we would be fully exposed to the sun.
Which layer contains the ozone layer and what does it do?
This is the stratosphere. There is also ozone in the lower troposphere, but the ozone layer in the stratosphere contains helpful ozone that blocks much of the ultraviolet radiation. Without this layer, life on earth would be very difficult.
How did the ozone layer start?
The ozone layer might have started very early. As the UV hit the oxygen, ozone would have been created.
What would happen if there were no lightning?
If there were no lightning then the clouds would not discharge excessive amounts of static electricity which would also have the effect of having a lower amount of ozone in the air which in turn may affect the ozone layer. There would no longer be fatality's as a result of lighting strikes. power surges that damage machinery would no longer be the result of lightning. Lighting also starts bush fires so they would be gone in the future as well. there are probably many more effects of lightning that I cant think of.
Can the ozone layer be rebuilt by releasing ozone into the stratosphere?
No.It would do even more damage to the ozone layer in making it and lifting it to altitude, than you would achieve as improvement.
How bad is the ozone layer melting?
Ozone layer melting is very bad. Without ozone layer no life would be there.
What is the layerof the atmosphere where you would find the ozone layer?
A majority of the layers have ozone. But the layer you would find the most is in the Stratosphere. It is a proven fact that this layer has the most ozone.
What happens when the ozone layer is completed?
When the ozone layer is completed, mankind would perish. There is no life without ozone.
What could happen if you had no ozone layer?
See "What would happen if the ozone layer vanished?"
Why would you want to protect ozone layer?
You want to protect ozone layer. It is a hell precious layer for us.
What would happend if the ozone layer vanished?
If the ozone layer vanished, there would be no life on earth. It is because the ozone layer protects us from the harmful and fatal UV radiations of the sun.
In what part of the earth would you find the ozone layer?
You can find the ozone in the stratosphere. It is the 2nd layer.
What is the layer of the atmosphere where you would find the the ozone layer?
The ozone layer can be found in the stratosphere. It protects us from the UV rays.
What would happen to the ozone layer if ozone was being made in the atmosphere?
Ozone is continually made by the Sun. Ozone made at Earth's surface does not survive to reach the ozone layer.
What is bad about the holes in the ozone?
The Ozone layer protects us from the sun. If we didn't have the Ozone layer, our Earth would burn up as we would be fully exposed to the sun.
