The ozone layer is the portion of the atmosphere that filters out most of the dangerous UV waves that hit the Earth from the sun. In 1985, scientists discovered a very large hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica.

In 1985 a hole in the ...was discovered over Antarctica.?

yes, and it was the "antarctic ozone hole"ozone layer


When was the massive hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctica first discovered?

The ozone hole first appeared when the ozone layer first appeared. The only variable is the "size" of the hole, and the ozone concentration in the "hole". The pole of the Earth that is experiencing winter receives none of the UV that makes ozone (for like a month or more), and ozone naturally decays with time. TThe ozone hole is a normal feature of our ozone layer. It appears each year when it is winter at one of our poles. So it first appeared when the ozone layer appeared. We first noticed the ozone hole in 1985, above Antartica. One forms over the Arctic pole too when it is winter there. They heal closed again once sunlight reaches the pole. Its not so much the presence or absence of an ozone hole, but its size that is important. It is important to look out for the ozone hole


When was the first hole in the ozone layer found?

The first hole in the ozone layer was discovered in 1985 over Antarctica by British scientists using data from satellite observations. This led to the establishment of the Montreal Protocol in 1987, an international treaty aimed at phasing out the use of ozone-depleting substances.


Why is threre a hole in the ozone layer?

The hole in ozone layer is the thinning of layer of ozone. It is because of the CFC's released by humans.

There is not actually a hole in the ozone layer. The ozone has been reduced below some limit.
