Less ozone means less security. This will cause UV to enter the earth.
It is in the stratosphere, located 8 to 50km above sea level. The ozone layer surrounds the earth, meaning that it's wrapped around earth. The altitude varies with latitude as well, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.The highest concentration of ozone is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause, and the ozone here is called the ozone layer. Ozone is also found in the lower atmosphere, also called the troposphere, and the ozone here is one component of smog.Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface (the troposphere ends here). So some ozone is found in every layer of the atmosphere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).When it is winter at one of the poles, there is no UV-C to make ozone, and since ozone decays with time, an "ozone hole" forms. The size of the hole depends on how many contaminants are present to accelerate the decay of ozone.Ozone is concentrated at 20-40 km above earth with highest concentration 6-8 parts per million. It is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere.
The less common form is ozone. It is formed in stratosphere.
Less O-Zone means less radiation is absorbed from the Sun, life would end up taking in more radiation, but it depends on how severe you are talking.
The ozone layer is a region with a relatively high concentration of ozone, and is located near the bottom of the stratosphere. It is located 8 to 50km above sea level. The altitude varies with latitude, placing the stratosphere and the ozone layer closer to the Earth's surface over the poles.The highest concentration is in the lower stratosphere, also called the tropopause. Ozone is found in some concentration in all layers of the atmosphere. Ozone in the troposphere (near Earth's surface) is one component of smog.Ozone concentrations vary from near zero at extreme elevations (high in the exosphere), to a maximum (~9 ppm) at the bottom of the stratosphere, to zero again near Earth's surface. Some ozone is found in every layer of the atmosphere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).(for more information, see the related question)The ozone layer is in the upper atmosphere of the earth.
There is normally no life that breathes in the stratosphere. In the troposphere, both plants and animals suffer when significant amounts of ozone are present.
The effect of less ozone in stratosphere is the UV's entering the ecosystem. They can cause disturbance in the biosphere.

The mesosphere extends from the stratopause to about 53 miles (85 km) above the earth. The gases, including the oxygen molecules, continue to become thinner and thinner with height. As such, the effect of the warming by ultraviolet radiation also becomes less and less leading to a decrease in temperature with height. On average, temperature decreases from about 5°F (-15°C) to as low as -184°F (-120°C) at the mesopause. However, the gases in the mesosphere are still thick enough to slow down meteorites hurtling into the atmosphere, where they burn up, leaving fiery trails in the night sky.
Ozone.The ozone layer consists of about 78% nitrogen, about 21% oxygen, the usual atmospheric constituents, but much less water vapor, and a peak ozone level of about 9 ppm.
The stratospheric region contains ozone layer. It protects us from UV rays.
Nearly the same as it is near the Earth's surface... about 20.9%. Very little of it is converted to ozone.

So some ozone is found in every layer of the atmopshere (usually less than 1 ppm, except for the stratosphere).When it is winter at one of the poles, there is no UV-C to make ozone, and since ozone decays with time, an "ozone hole" forms. The size of the hole depends on how many contaminants are present to accelerate the decay of ozone.As with the whole atmosphere, all layers (except the upper exosphere) have about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and traces of other gases.
No. Atmospheric pressure in Antarctica is about the same as it is anywhere else. Air density is actually greater than it is on most places because it is cold. However, the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere is much less over Antarctica. This is because the dynamics of the atmosphere concentrate man-made compounds called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) there. The CFCs act as catalysts that break down ozone into diatomic oxygen (O2).
