Where can you find the big hole on our ozone layer?
Over the polar regions.
Is the ozone layer above or below the clouds?
Yes, the ozone layer is above the clouds. It's up in the lower stratosphere, about 12-19 miles (20-30 km) above Earth. There are very high polar clouds that are higher than this, but most clouds are in the troposphere where the highest clouds (in the polar regions) are about 2 - 5 miles (3 - 8 km) above Earth.
Why do hurricanes form in polar regions?
Well, they don't, actually. Hurricanes form in the more tropical regions, never the polar regions. Reason for that is basically there is more moisture in the atmosphere than in the polar regions. For a better explanation, please see the related question below.
Depletion of ozone layer and formation of ozone hole in polar regions is a phenomenon occurring in the?
Troposphere
Are the rings observed on Jupiter violent storm clouds swirling above the polar regions of the planet?
Yes - though they encircle the whole planet, not just its polar regions.
Which atmospheric layer does NOT exist above polar regions?
stratospheric
Where can you find the big hole on our ozone layer?
Over the polar regions.
Is the thickness of earth atmosphere the same in polar regions as equatorial regions?
Yes, the thickness varies from te equatoral to the polar regions due to the Earth's rotation. The atmosphere is thicker at the equator than the poles. this is due to the earths rotation and centripital force.
Is the ozone layer above or below the clouds?
Yes, the ozone layer is above the clouds. It's up in the lower stratosphere, about 12-19 miles (20-30 km) above Earth. There are very high polar clouds that are higher than this, but most clouds are in the troposphere where the highest clouds (in the polar regions) are about 2 - 5 miles (3 - 8 km) above Earth.
Which atmosphere do auroras occur in?
Ionosphere of Near northern hemisphere polar regions

What atmospheric layer does not exist above polar regions?
Polar regions are not actually devoid but have small concentrations of the ozone layer which is a protective layer present in the stratospheric region of earth and which helps in the absorption of the harmful UV radiations coming from the sun. The reason is a pretty obvious one that the CFC's which are used by the mankind for their good are carried towards the poles by polar stratospheric winds which in turn move in the stratospheric region due to the high pressure. These CFC's hinder the rate of formation of ozone thus causing depletion or what we mention as an "ozone hole".

Yes - though they encircle the whole planet, not just its polar regions.
What parts of the world does the ozone layer hole affect?
The ozone layer does affect various parts of the world. The polar regions being the main among them.
why are polar regions colder then tropical?
Tropical regions are cooler , polar regions are colder
How are the polar regions alike?
Both north and south polar regions are extremely cold. Both experience some period -- above their respective circles of latitude -- of no sunrise/ sunset every year.
