When was the massive hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctica first discovered?
The ozone hole first appeared when the ozone layer first appeared. The only variable is the "size" of the hole, and the ozone concentration in the "hole". The pole of the Earth that is experiencing winter receives none of the UV that makes ozone (for like a month or more), and ozone naturally decays with time. TThe ozone hole is a normal feature of our ozone layer. It appears each year when it is winter at one of our poles. So it first appeared when the ozone layer appeared. We first noticed the ozone hole in 1985, above Antartica. One forms over the Arctic pole too when it is winter there. They heal closed again once sunlight reaches the pole. Its not so much the presence or absence of an ozone hole, but its size that is important. It is important to look out for the ozone hole
How did Mario J Molina discover the Antarctica ozone?
Lets clear the first misconception, Mario J Molina did not discover the ozone layer, nor the hole above Antarctica. The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson, and the hole inthe ozone layer by the British Antarctic Survey. What Molina did along with Stuart Rowland was write a scientific paper in 1974 on what damage CFCs were doing the ozone layer back then. Which led to the banning of CFCs, and his Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1995.
Where was an “ozone hole” discovered in the 1980s?
The ozone hole was discovered over Antarctica.
What layer is the ozone a part of?
You can find ozone in any layer of the atmosphere, but in the lower layers it does not last long. The so-called ozone layer is in the lower portion of the stratosphere, at a height where it takes a long time to dissociate.
What era was the ozone layer developed?
In the Precambrian time, 4.6 billion yrs. ago

How ozone layer recover in summer in south poles?
Ozone layer forms in summer. therefore it initiates its recovery at that time.
What layer is the ozone a part of?
You can find ozone in any layer of the atmosphere, but in the lower layers it does not last long. The so-called ozone layer is in the lower portion of the stratosphere, at a height where it takes a long time to dissociate.
Will you die when the ozone layer breaks?
Yes, you will. There is a lot of time until the ozone breaks up.
Has the ozone layer shifted over time?
Yes, the ozone has shifted over time. It changes with weather each season.
What time frame did the ozone layer deplete the most?
The ozone deplete when the world was unaware about it. That is when CFC's were born.
What era was the ozone layer developed?
In the Precambrian time, 4.6 billion yrs. ago
What is causing the ozone layer to change?
The amount of ozone in a space is a balance of net producers of ozone, net reducers of ozone, and time (ozone decays on its own...).So the ozone layer changes with temperature, time and season. For example, the ozone hole is an annual phenomenon at each pole. Only the size and duration of the hole may be due to Man's actions.

Is there ozone layer when it is dark?
Yes. The "half-life" of ozone is several days at the night-time temperature of the ozone layer. So only a few ozone decay paths are present when sunlight is not available. what about nite with no daylight. Yes. During all times of day and variants of sunlight, the Ozone Layer is still present.
