Where is the hole on the ozone layer?

Answer 1

*The ozone hole is centered on Antarctica, so for it to stretch all the way up to Australia, it would have to be quite large. That means that much of the Antarctic Ocean and the Southern parts of other oceans would be exposed, and these regions are very important to the world ecology. This might harm some species of plankton and other ocean plants and animals (David Palmer: for Ask an Astrophysicist).

The ozone hole forms in the ozone layer above the pole that currently is having winter, has a size controlled by the contaminants that deplete ozone (some natural, some Manmade), and may be bigger than (for example) Antarctica. The largest ozone hole occurs over Antarctica, due to Earth's magnetic field directing more hydrogen there from the solar wind. More correctly, the Southern polar hole is formed when the Earth is farthest from the Sun, which reduces the amount of light available to form "fresh" ozone.

The ozone "hole" is a thin spot with little ozone. The holes are located at the poles, and essentially disappear when there is summer in the hemisphere with that pole.

So one at the South pole in "July" and a different smaller on at the North pole in "January". And they heal up entirely a few months later.

Answer 2

The hole in the ozone layer is located over Antarctica, particularly over the South Pole. This hole forms during the Southern Hemisphere's springtime, typically from September to November, due to man-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons.

Answer 3

The ozone hole is mainly confined over the Antarctica or to be general over the poles. The ozone hole gets shifted from place to place according to seasons but most of the time it stays over the poles because of the temperature required for the depletion of ozone layer at that place.

A:

The ozone hole forms in the ozone layer above the pole that currently is having winter, has a size controlled by the contaminants that deplete ozone, and may be bigger than (for example) Antarctica. The largest ozone hole occurs over Antarctica, because of the intense cold and the four months of darkness there.

A:

The Ozone Hole is not actually a hole but is the thinning of the ozone layer because of the use of the harmful CFCs by human beings which react with ozone to deplete it. The ozone hole is mainly formed over the poles as the CFCs react with ozone to deplete in only in a range of temperature which is only provided at the poles. These CFCs are the chlorine and Florine containing compounds which react with ozone to form oxygen and then further form chlorine back. One molecule of chlorine can destroy over one hundred thousand molecules of ozone.Thus we can imagine how fast is the ozone depleting thus making it thinner day by day and giving rise to phenomenon called ozone hole.

Answer 4

The hole in the ozone layer is over Antarctica.

Answer 5

There's a big hole in Antarctica and a small hole in Arctic ocean

Answer 6

antarctic region, and allegedly, above Australia.

Answer 7

The ozone hole is found in both polar area, north pole and Antarctica.

Answer 8

The largest hole on earth is on the pole. It is in the southern Hemisphere.

Answer 9

Ozone layer has hole in it above Antartica continent. It is formed due to CFC gas. Beacuse of the hole there is an increase in the temperature of earth.

Answer 10

Ozone layer has hole in it above Antartica continent. It is formed due to CFC gas. Beacuse of the hole there is an increase in the temperature of earth.
