The "hole" in the ozone layer is a very natural event that has occurred for eons. We know that the largest disturbances in this layer occurred long before man even started to use CFC's. There is debate that man may be having some negative impact on the ozone layer. The amount is in dispute as is the possible amount of influence.

We do know that the "hole" only shows up at the poles and that the areas most influenced by man's output show no deterioration. The equators are in the same state as when discovered. We also know that the thinning layers are due, primarily, to the lack of sunlight hitting this region. That is why we only see thinning at the poles.

We also know that data is showing this layer is currently increasing in thickness, which corresponds to the lack of warming we have noted for the past decade.

The short answer to your question is yes, this is a natural issue that will see cycles that are recoverable.

Some scientists may really think so, because a developing research suggests that the ozone hole can be fixed by dicharging oxygen gas to depleted parts of the ozone layer using battery powered unmanned aircrafts, oxygen gas discharged will join in combination and dissociation reactions that naturally occur in the stratosphere for protection against harmful UV rays.

What does scientist think is damaging the ozone layer?

Accouring to the scientists, the main cause of depletion of ozone layer is the use of CFc's. These CFCs react with ozone present in the ozone layer and deplete it.


What makes scientist think that ozone layer is disappearing?

Ozone is disappearing. It is because of the increasing CFC's.


What makes scientist think that the ozone layer is disappea ring?

Ozone layer is disappearing. I is because of the increased UV content on earth.


Do scientists think the hole in the ozone layer be fixed?

Yes, scientists believe the hole in the ozone layer can be fixed. International efforts such as the Montreal Protocol have successfully reduced the use of ozone-depleting substances, which has led to a gradual healing of the ozone layer. Continued global cooperation and adherence to regulations will be crucial in fully repairing the ozone hole.


What is one of the factors that scientist think is contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer?

One of the factors contributing to the destruction of the ozone layer is the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. These chemicals break down ozone molecules when they reach the stratosphere, leading to ozone depletion.


What make scientist think that the ozone layer is disappearing?

Scientists believe that the ozone layer is disappearing because there is a large hole in it. This hole was not there years ago.


What year do scientists think the ozone layer will have rebound?

Scientists hope the ozone layer will have recovered by around 2050.


How can ozone layer can be harmful?

Ozone layer cannot be harmful. It protects us from harmful UV rays of the sun.


What makes scientists think that ozone layer disappearng?

There have been various experiments measuring the ozone layer. The ozone over the poles is seen to have depleted.


How did the ozone layer end up over Australia?

Ozone layer is spread all over not just Australia. I think you mean to say ozone hole.


Does the atmosphere contain the ozone layer?

yes i think


Why is the term ozone layer somewhat misleading?

The term "ozone layer" can be misleading because it implies that ozone exists in a distinct, separate layer in the atmosphere. In reality, ozone is present throughout the stratosphere in varying concentrations. So, it's more accurate to think of the ozone layer as a region of the stratosphere with higher concentrations of ozone rather than a single, uniform layer.
