It doesn't. The ozone in the upper atmosphere screens out most of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches us from the sun, protecting life on earth from its harmful effects. However, by the 1980s, the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere had fallen to such a dangerously low level that a hole in the ozone layer had opened up over most of the continent of Antarctica. The reduction in ozone levels was shown to be caused by the manufacture and use of certain gases, such as chlorofluorocarbons, in airconditioning units and refrigerators. When released into the atmosphere, these gases combined with the atmospheric ozone, reducing the natural level. Urgent action was undertaken by governments around the world, to ban the manufacture of these gases. Only now are atmospheric levels of ozone beginning to return to normal.

Is the ozone hole constant over the time?
No the ozone hole is not constant over the time
Does ozone move?
Yes, it does. ozone does not remain constant.
Why is the ozone hole not constant over time?
The ozone hole is not constant. Various man made chemicals vary the size of it.
Which factor needs to stay constant to test Boyle's Law?
The amount of gas and its temperature.
What has reduced the amount of ozone in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone has reduced. It is due to CFC.
Does the ozone layer move?
Yes, it does. It is not constant.
What layer of the atmosphere contains the highest amount of ozone?
Stratosphere contain highest amount of ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
How long does ozone stay in the atmosphere?
Ozone is a very unstable molecule. The energy required of formation of ozone is much greater than the reverse process that is the formation of oxygen and nascent oxygen. However there is an ongoing process of formation as well as depletion in the ozone layer which makes its concentration in the ozone layer constant. However due to the CFC's the rate of depletion is increasing thus creating an ozone hole in the ozone layer.
Why is the amount of ozone variable in the atmosphere?
The amount of ozone is variable. It is because it keeps on forming and destroying.
Is ozone closest to sun?
No. Ozone is where the gases are cool enough to allow ozone to form and stay a while.
What effects does the amount of ozone in your atmosphere have?
The amount of ozone in atmosphere determine s the % of solar radiation that will be absorbed. The absorbtion of radiation is proportional to the concentration of ozone.
The area of the stratosphere that has a great amount of ozone gas is the?
Ozone layer has most of the ozone. It is present as pool of ozone molecules.
