Ozone is a gas which needs the sun's energy to exist in our atmosphere. When our arctic and antarctic areas go into their winter months a thinning area develops we refer to as a hole.
The largest hole in our ozone layer is believed to have occurred the year of the most known solar activity (1859).
Their are also chemicals that also contribute to the decay. Water vapor, for example, decays ozone, as do CFC's.
What else can I help you with?
Why is it important to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons?
Countries agreed at the Montreal Conference to ban the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It was clear to everyone that CFCs were damaging the ozone layer and this could lead to severe damage to humans. This ban has been the most successful international intervention ever. No CFCs are now being released and scientists hope the ozone level will have self-repaired by 2060 (CFCs hang about in the atmosphere for up to 75 years!).
The inventions you have today destroy the environment?
yes... such as air-condition.. releasing CFC n causing the thinning of ozone layer. plastics which is non-biodegradable and increase the amount of rubbish
What are some technological advantages of the ozone layer?
It is an odd question. So I will answer what has technology not been called on to handle, because ozone protects the Earth's surface from short wave UV and monatomic oxygen? Elastomers exposed to direct sunlight last much longer. Paints don't bleach as fast.
Why do electronics make ozone?
Any source of ionizing radiation makes ozone, and expressed voltages greater than 3 volts have the potential to make some ozone.
What was Mario Jose Molina invention?
Antarctic ozone hole.
In what layer of the atmosphere is ozone formed?
The ozone is found and formed in the atmosphere. It is formed in the stratosphere.
In the upper layer of the atmosphare ozone is formed by?
The upper layer of the atmosphere is formed by ozone layer. This is a layer of ozone gas.
In the upper layer of the atmosphere ozone is formed?
Ozone is formed by UV rays. They are rays from the sun.
What happened to life-forms when the ozone layer formed in the upper atmosphere?
When the ozone layer is formed, the life forms evolved. They were not possible earlier.
In what layer does the ozone hole form?
The ozone hole in formed in the stratosphere region of the atmosphere. It is because most of the ozone is present in that layer.
What is the formed of ozone layer?
Ozone layer is formed of ozone. It is a gas.
Which layer in the atmosphere contain most of the ozone gas?
The ozone layer is primarily found in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of Earth's atmosphere. This layer is located above the troposphere where we live and breathe, and it contains a majority of the Earth's ozone gas which plays a key role in filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Which layer of the atmosphere had the greatest concentration of ozone?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the greatest concentration of ozone. Ozone is formed in the stratosphere by the action of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on oxygen molecules.
How does the chemical makeup of the atmosphere lead to the ozone layer in the lower stratosphere?
The ozone in atmosphere is formed by UV. The UV replenishes it and then depletes it.
Which layer of the atmosphere is the first?
Atmosphere. Ozone is formed by interaction between oxygen in the atmosphere, and UV-C from the Sun.
Upper layer of atmosphere ozone is formed by?
Upper layer atmospheric ozone is formed by UV rays. These Uv rays break down oxygen into nascent oxygen which reacts with oxygen to form ozone.
Which atmosphere has a ozone layer in it?
The stratosphere region of atmosphere has the ozone. It is present as the ozone layer.
