Contaminants such as water vapor (Nature and Man), CFCs (Man), and bromine compounds (Nature and Man) cause the equilibrium concentration of ozone to decrease. This makes the ozone hole (once it forms) to be larger, as compared to ages when these contaminants were not present.

∙ 12y agoThere are two primary causes associated with the changes in size of what we call our "holes" in the ozone layer.
The first, and most important cause is a lack of sunlight. There are two locations where this issue occurs. The largest location is over the Antarctic, at the end of it's winter months. A smaller, similar situation occurs over the Arctic during the end of the winter there. When the sun returns to these areas, the situation quickly disappears.
The second known reason for changes in our ozone layers thickness is due to solar variation. The largest known thinning of our layer occurred in 1859 due to a solar flare.
As long as we have oxygen in our atmosphere and sunlight hitting that oxygen, physics will keep doing what it is supposed to and converting that oxygen into ozone.

Why do ozone hole grow bigger and bigger whrn there is air pollution?
Air pollution causes ozone depletion. The gases react with ozone to deplete.
Having a ozone hole causes damage to?
Causing a ozone hole causes damage to all organisms. These organisms are the living creatures.
What causes a hole in the ozone?
The hole is caused in the ozone due to the use of CFC chemicals by humans. These chemicals react with ozone and deplete it.
Which of these causes the other - global warming and the hole in the ozone layer?
Neither. Global warming has nothing to do with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with global warming.
How might the ozone hole affect life on earth?
Ozone hole affects life. It causes the fatal UV to enter the earth.
What can you do to prevent the ozone layers hole to get bigger?
To prevent the ozone hole from getting bigger, we mustPlant more treesAvoid using CFC's.
Why do ozone hole grow bigger and bigger whrn there is air pollution?
Air pollution causes ozone depletion. The gases react with ozone to deplete.
What are the layers of ozone hole?
there are no layers of ozone. It is a single layer.
Where are the greatest holes in the layers of ozone?
The greatest hole in the layers of ozone is at the poles. It is over Antarctica.
What will happen to the animals if the ozone hole gets bigger?
If the ozone hole gets bigger, the UV rays will enter. This will cause extinction of animals.
Is ozone deleption when the ozone get thinner?
Yes, ozone depletion is the process where ozone layers get thinner. This is also called as ozone hole formation.
Having a ozone hole causes damage to?
Causing a ozone hole causes damage to all organisms. These organisms are the living creatures.
What causes hole?
The antarctic hole is the ozone hole. It is caused by the CFC's.
How is ozone hole affecting your environment?
Ozone hole causes UV to enter. these are fatal rays of the sun.
What causes a hole in the ozone?
The hole is caused in the ozone due to the use of CFC chemicals by humans. These chemicals react with ozone and deplete it.
Which of these causes the other - global warming and the hole in the ozone layer?
Neither. Global warming has nothing to do with the hole in the ozone layer. The hole in the ozone layer has nothing to do with global warming.
What are causes of the hole in the ozone layer?
Ozone hole is created by natural and man made processes. Man made are CFC's.
