There is evidence that CFC's have formed hole in the ozone. These evidence are found by scientists.

Why holes in ozone layer are formed only above the poles and not in other areas?

Ozone holes form predominantly above the poles due to specific conditions in the stratosphere during polar winter. These conditions lead to the release of chemicals, like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), that break down ozone. The polar environment allows for the accumulation of these ozone-depleting substances, resulting in the formation of ozone holes.


What is causing the ozone layer to get damaged?

The presence of CFCs are creating holes in the ozone layer. UV light causes CFCs to be borken down, creating chlorine atoms that are capable of breaking down ozone into oxygen in the stratosphere. The holes in the ozone layer are formed when the ozone is broken down at a faster rate than it can reform. This enables more UV radiation to reach the earth's surface and it is a greater problem in the southern hemisphere.The ozone layer is getting damaged. It is due to the harmful UV rays of the sun.


What is the strongest evidence that cfcs are in the stratosphere?

Satellite measurements of light passing through the atmosphere


Is HAARP responsible for the holes in the ozone?

No, HAARP (High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) is not responsible for the holes in the ozone layer. The depletion of the ozone layer is primarily caused by human activities releasing chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. These chemicals break down ozone molecules, leading to thinning of the ozone layer.

How did the ozone layer got holes?

Pollution. LOTS of pollution. CFCs primarily. But pollutants are now the main cause of ozone holes as CFCs have been outlawed.

Is the hole of ozone layer changing?

Yes. Countries have gradually phased out the production of CFCs. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that were used in refrigerators and aerosols are the main destroyers of the ozone layer. Since 2000 the holes have slowed in size. Scientists hope that the holes will be completely repaired by 2050.

There is enough evidence for black holes - I don't see any problem there.


Was the earth formed by black holes scattered throughout the galaxy?

No. Earth was formed by the accretion of material in the protoplanetary disk around the newly formed sun. Black holes were not involved.


How did Sir Stephen Hawking's collect his evidence about the black holes?

He did not collect evidence. He simply proposed a "what if" then solved the equations of general relativity and quantum mechanics to find out what would happen in such a situation. The results of that analysis are his theories of microscopic black holes that evaporate and eventually explode.His theories have no effect at all on black holes that formed from stars, they don't evaporate.Note: this is exactly what Einstein did when he developed the theories of relativity. He had no evidence, he just proposed a "what if" then determined what would happen in that situation. It took others years to collect the evidence to show those predictions (strange as they were) to be correct.


How are Aquifers formed?

Aquifers are formed when water chips away at the limestone causing holes to appear. The water then flows through the holes making them bigger.


What does it mean that black holes are theory?

Whoever said this seems to think that there is not enough direct evidence for black holes. However, I understand there is enough evidence to believe that black holes actually exist - including the observation of many, many objects that can only be black holes.
