Is there any improvement of ozone layer in recent year?

Yes, there is. Ozone layer is replenishing.


How long ago was the ozone layer created?

The ozone hole is a repeating phenomenon, that has most likely occurred since there was ozone in the atmosphere (hundreds of millions of years). The size of the hole is the issue, whether Man plays any part in making it bigger.


What will happen in the future if the ozone hole gets bigger in size?

The ozone layer is a layer of the vital gas which protects us from the harmful UV radiations of the sun. The ozone layer is constant in concentration till disturbing factors like CFC's n HCFC's are the ones that destroy ozone. However these factors have been brought under control by humans so the ozone hole has been diminishing slowly.


What does the ozone look like?

what it looks like, well it can not be seen with the naked eye,it was found/seen from outer space, also its as thin as a pair of ladies stocking/panty hose (very fragile) every time we travel into space or send a satellite it tears a hole in the ozone layer, and I am sorry to inform you that repair time for the damage/hole is not anytime soon . and to think its such an important part of our existence, its our last defense of protection from the sun ect...


Do sun have ozone layer?

No, it can thin the layer though. The hydrogen carried with a coronal mass ejection does depress ozone levels (more towards the south pole), but this happens days later than the accompanying solar flare. The largest "hole" we have ever known about occurred the same year as the largest known solar flare activity. This happened in 1859.

Is there any hole in ozone layer?

yes


Is there any hole in the ozone layer now currently?

The ozone hole is in the south pole. It is over Antarctica.


Does global warming cause the ozone hole?

No. There is hardly any connection between the ozone layer and global warming.


Gases in atmosphere causes break in ozone layer?

There is no actual break in the ozone layer. The "hole" is an annual event above the poles caused by the lack of sun reaching the ozone layer. CFC's are believed by some to cause a contributing change in this layer. The lagest "hole" recorded occurred decades before CFC's were created. The primary cause for ozone is lack of sun, not any gas.


Is the hole in the ozone layer getting larger?

yesbut in some parts theres no hole but the ozone is too thickThe ozone hole this (2009) winter/spring (south pole) was a little smaller than the record size. Whether Man had any part in that "improvement" through his efforts remains to be seen. Note that the ozone hole is an annual repeating phenomenon at each pole, and the southern ozone hole is naturally larger than the northern ozone hole.


How have we helped to cause the hole in the ozone layer?

The ozone hole is a natural, repeating occurence. See "How did the ozone hole occur?"We may or may not make it "deeper", start sooner, get larger, last longer, but we do not have any part in making the hole. Nature does that on her own, when it is later winter / early spring at a pole.


Are there any objects in the ozone layer?

No they are not. the complete ozone layer contains the ozone molecules only.


What are the componenets of ozone layer?

The ozone layer is a complete layer. It does not contain any other components.


What is abbreviation for ozone hole?

There isn't any abbreviation. Ozone hole is the decrease in the concentration of ozone molecules.


What is the reason for the imbalance of the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is not "imbalanced". There is a region of low ozone concentration (the "ozone hole") that forms at the pole that has little-to-no UV from the Sun to reform ozone. The concentration at any point in the ozone layer is a function of how much UV is arrving of a wavelength of 215nm or shorter, how much scavengers / catalysts are present (including water vapor), and the local temperature (ozone also decays spontaneously without any other molecule present with time).


What are the layers of the ozone layer?

There is no layer of ozone layer i.e. distinction. It does not consist of any layer, only a single layer is there.


Is there any improvement of ozone layer in recent year?

Yes, there is. Ozone layer is replenishing.
