Why is it that the opening holes in the ozone layers tend to concentrate at the poles only?
The Ozone in the atmosphere is created by sunlight high in the earths atmosphere. It is destroyed naturally with time so there is a balance of Ozone in the upper atmosphere. However certain man made chemicals that we have put into the atmosphere destroy the Ozone faster and the whole Ozone level all round the earth is depleted, letting more UV radiation through to the Earth's surface. This global Ozone depletion results in holes at the poles because if you think about it for 6 months of the year the poles are not exposed to sunlight and thus no 'new' Ozone is being created to replace that which the man made chemicals have destroyed.
