Why is an ozone hole formed only above and not over developed countries that emit a lot of cfc's?

Ozone hole is formed only at poles. It is because the CFC's are carried by westerly winds towards the poles.

What countries are destroying the ozone layer?
Many countries are destroying the ozone. The developed nations are on top.
How is ozone formed over the troposphere?
Ozone forms over the equator where the rays of sunlight are the strongest and then flows toward the poles.
What altitude is most ozone formed?
Technically ozone is formed at all altitudes by air pollutants such as hydrocarbons reacting by exposure to sunlight. The most concentrated altitude at which ozone is formed at (most commonly known as the ozone layer which is in the stratosphere) starts at about 10km above sea level and goes to about 50km above sea level (in imperial that's about 6 and 31 miles).
When did ozone layer develop?
See "It is true that life could not have existed on land until the ozone layer formed about 2 million years ago Why does life on land require an ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
Where is the ozone hole present?
Ozone layer has hole in it above Antartica continent. It is formed due to CFC gas. Beacuse of the hole there is an increase in the temperature of earth.
Where is Ozone depletion greatest?
In the atmosphere.See "Why is an ozone hole formed only above Antarctica and not over developed countries that emit a lot of CFCs?"

What is the formed of ozone layer?
Ozone layer is formed of ozone. It is a gas.

How has the ozone depletion been dealt with by people?
The ozone has been taken seriously. The Montreal Protocol with 180 countries have been formed.
What caused a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica?
An ozone hole forms when there is no UV-C from the Sun to replace the decay of ozone (both natural and man-caused). This occurs when the pole is having winter.Antarctica's hole (South pole) is larger than the arctic hole (North pole), because the Earth's magnetic field directs positive charges from the solar wind to it, which is primarily hydrogen, and hydrogen oxidizes to water vapor, which decays ozone. The north pole gets almost exclusively electrons, which tend to make a bit more ozone, although indirectly.See "Why is an ozone hole formed only above Antarctica and not over developed countries that emit a lot of CFCs?" in the "Related questions" section below.
How is ozone layer formed?
See "How was the ozone layer formed?"
Are there countries with an ozone hole above them?
So far, Antarctica, and the tip of South America.
In what layer of the atmosphere is ozone formed?
The ozone is found and formed in the atmosphere. It is formed in the stratosphere.
What developed because of the development of the ozone in the stratosphere and oxygen in the atmosphere?
An ozone hole developed due to the ozone depletion. It is the lowering of ozone concentration.
