The magnetic field diverts most positive charges of the solar wind to the south pole, and "scoops" more solar wind than Earth would otherwise receive. Much of these positive charges are hydrogen, the hydrogen oxidizes to water vapor, and water vapor both prevents one method of making ozone and accelerates the decay of ozone. So the magnetic field makes the south polar hole larger than the north polar hole, and serves to deplete ozone generally. Ozone is a polar molecule, and as such can be damped in oscillation / rotation by the Earth's magnetic field. So the magnetic field also serves to "cool" ozone down a bit.

How does acid rain effect the earths ozone layer?

it goes through and harms the layer,plus it damages staues or things with same objects


Is the ozone layer's temperature the same as the stratosphere?

The temperature of ozone layer is same as stratosphere. It is because ozone layer is in stratosphere.


Is ozone layer the same as ozone depletion?

No ozone layer and ozone depletion are different terms. Actually they are quiet the opposite terms.


Which layer of the atmosphere is the ozone hole phenomenon found?

The ozone hole is found in the same layer as ozone layer. It is found in stratosphere.


Is Ozone is the same as the ozone layer?

No, ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), while the ozone layer is a region in the Earth's stratosphere that contains a higher concentration of ozone molecules. The ozone layer helps protect Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.


What is the effect the ozone layer in each place?

The effect of ozone layer is same overall. The ozone depletion over one place will affect the UV in that area.


Can fueling the ozone layer with oxygen particles help restoration of ozone layer quicken?

Efforts were made to do the same but results were not up to the mark. The ozone present in the ozone layer is small in concentration but very large from the perspective of fueling it. Various air balloons filled with oxygen were sent to the ozone layer in order to refuel it but the amount was negligible if the ozone hole was concerned.


Is Global warming and the hole in the ozone layer the same thing?

No.


Is the ozonosphere the same thing as the ozone layer?

No, it is not. there is no thing as Ozonosphere.


Why are there no hole in the ozone layer when spacecrafts leave the ozone layer?

The ozone layer is just a layer of gas, so while the ozone might get "stirred up" a bit, it does not form a hole. An ozone hole is not a physical hole; it's only an area in the ozone layer where the ozone levels are very low because of decomposition by chemicals. Consider this: If you move your hand through the air, does it leave a vacuum behind? No. The air around it fills in the space almost instantly. Same thing with the spacecraft going through the ozone layer.


Is the ozone increasing decreasing or staying the same?

Ozone gas is present in the ozone layer. It is decreasing due to man made ODS.
