Where is the hole in the ozone layer located?

The hole in the ozone layer is located over the poles that is Antarctica and arctic. It is because the process of ozone depletion requires very low temperatures to initiate and that temperature is only available at the poles.


Why is there such a big hole over Antarctica?

The ozone hole over Antarctica forms due to the presence of human-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, which break down ozone molecules. The extreme cold temperatures in the Antarctic stratosphere create the ideal conditions for these chemicals to deplete the ozone layer, leading to the formation of the ozone hole.


What happened with the ozone layer?

As an indicator of ozone layer health, the "ozone hole" was at near record size last year. No real indicator that the ozone layer is healing. But if someone doesn't jump up and down on the panic button continuously, it is very easy for the anti-greens to make up snide remarks like the one shown above. Please see the link below for an ozone layer watch site.


What layer is the ozone near?

The ozone is near or inside the stratospheric region. It is in the form of ozone layer.


Why is the hole in the ozone layer above new zealand?

The hole in the ozone layer above New Zealand, as well as in other regions, is mainly due to the release of ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. These substances break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to the formation of the ozone hole. New Zealand's location and atmospheric conditions contribute to the severity of the ozone hole above the region.

What is your Suggestions of the growth of the hole in the earths ozone layer?

The suggestion to the growth of ozone hole is that it must be stopped. It can cause problems in the near future.


Why is the ozone hole larger in Antarctica with not near as many greenhouse gases as say in New York or Chicago?

The ozone hole is larger over Antarctica. It is because CFC's carried in various parts are carried to poles by westerly's.


What areas are affected by hole in the ozone layer?

The areas near poles. These areas have suffered.

Where is the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is diminishing most over?

The only areas that have a thinning are (referred to as the hole) is near each pole when it is in their winter phase. The sun is unable to keep up production of ozone. No noticeable change occurs where the sun can hit this area all of the year.


How big is the hole in the ozone layer near Antarctica what steps are being taken to prevent ozone layer depletion?

The ozone hole, and its size varies by time of year. No point in answering that part of the question.As to what is being done to prevent ozone layer depletion, we are asking silly questions on the internet. So far we have banned CFCs, which have been shown to deplete ozone (Nature also makes some, but we cannot fine Her). We still fly aircraft high in the atmosphere, even though we know this also depletes ozone. Other than that, we thump our chests, and point fingers elsewhere...
