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.
What else can I help you with?
Where are the greatest holes in the layers of ozone?
The greatest hole in the layers of ozone is at the poles. It is over Antarctica.
How do you prevent causing holes in ozone layers?
To prevent causing holes in ozone layer, we must stop the use of CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Why do ozone layers have holes in then?
Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
What are holes in ozone layer?
The holes in ozone are not actually holes. They are lowered concentration of ozone.
What are holes in the ozone layar?
The holes in ozone layer is the thinning of ozone. It is caused by CFC's.
What are the layers of ozone hole?
there are no layers of ozone. It is a single layer.
When are ozone layers the lowest?
ozone layers are low when they feel like it
How many holes is there in the ozone layer?
The ozone layer has a hole over Antarctica known as the ozone hole. This hole varies in size throughout the year but reaches its maximum size in September. The hole is caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances into the atmosphere.
Where are all the layers of the ozone layer?
There are no layers in the ozone layer. It is a single layer of pool of ozone gas.
Why do you have holes in the ozone layer?
Holes in ozone layer is the thinning of ozone layer. It is because of use of ODS by humans.
What are two layers that ozone in it?
Ozone is present in 2 layers. These are troposphere and stratosphere.
What are the holes in the ozone layer?
The holes in the ozone layer are areas of depleted ozone concentration in Earth's stratosphere. These holes are primarily caused by human-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which release chlorine and bromine atoms that destroy ozone molecules. Ozone layer depletion can lead to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation from the sun, with potential impacts on human health and the environment.
