Because the Ozone in the upper atmosphere is created by Ultraviolet (UV-C) light hitting Oxygen molecules in the air and the intensity of incident light is higher near the the equator as compared to the poles. The poles receive *no significant*UV-C when it is winter at that pole. Additionally, Earth's magnetic field redirects electrons from the solar wind to the North pole, while the positive charges are directed to the South pole. The positive charges are largely protons, which become hydrogen in our atmosphere. Hydrogen oxidizes to water vapor, and water vapor both blocks one path of ozone formation (via N2O* as a temporary placeholder for an oxygen atom), and accelerates the decay of ozone (via formation of H2O2). This explains why the south polar hole is much larger than the north polar hole.
What else can I help you with?
Around the world which areas are affected by the ozone layer?
The ozone layer depletion is a global issue, affecting regions across the world. However, Antarctica experiences the most severe depletion, leading to the formation of the ozone hole. Other regions, such as parts of Africa, Australia, South America, and Asia, also experience increased levels of ozone depletion due to human activities.
Where is the hole in the ozone found?
Ozone layer is depletion is happening in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere. It is majorly concentrated over Antarctica's atmosphere.
Is there a hole at the North Pole?
Not a hole, but there was a large ozone layer hole right above the South Pole. That ozone hole has diminished in size in the last few years, effectively "healing".
Where is the biggest hole in the earths ozone layer?
The largest hole in the Earth's ozone layer is located over Antarctica and is known as the "ozone hole." It forms every year during the Southern Hemisphere's spring (August to early December) due to human-made chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. Measures have been taken to reduce the use of these substances, which has helped in slowing down the depletion of the ozone layer.
What change might pollution be causing to the ozone layer the north and south poles?
There is the possibility that man is making the seasonal thinning of the ozone layer at the poles worse. The degree that man's use of CFC's has added to this issue is unknown, although many fringe groups believe that man plays a large part in the issue. We do know that this thinning does happenannually and is natural. We also know that the largest thinning of this hole we can trace through science happened in the mid 1800's, before we used cfc's.
Why is the hole of the ozone layer at the south but the north uses gas?
The ozone hole is south. It is because of the westerlies that carry CFC's.
How South Africa is restoring ozone layer?
South Africa is restoring the ozone layer by banning CFC's. They have stopped its use.
Is the ozone layer opening?
No at the moment. The ozone hole at the south pole has formed and is closing. The hole at the north pole probably has not started forming yet.
Around the world which areas are affected by the ozone layer?
The ozone layer depletion is a global issue, affecting regions across the world. However, Antarctica experiences the most severe depletion, leading to the formation of the ozone hole. Other regions, such as parts of Africa, Australia, South America, and Asia, also experience increased levels of ozone depletion due to human activities.
How big will the ozone layer get?
The ozone layer is largest when it is spring / fall at both poles. It is smallest when it is winter at the South pole.
How ozone layer recover in summer in south poles?
Ozone layer forms in summer. therefore it initiates its recovery at that time.
Which state of Australia is most likely to be affected by the ozone layer?
The state of South Australia is the place in Australia most likely to be affected by the ozone layer. This is because of the hole in the ozone layer.
Why and where is the hole in the ozone layer?
The hole in ozone is over the south pole. Antarctica has the largest.
Is there any hole in the ozone layer now currently?
The ozone hole is in the south pole. It is over Antarctica.
Where is the hole in the ozone found?
Ozone layer is depletion is happening in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere. It is majorly concentrated over Antarctica's atmosphere.
Which hemesphere is the hole in the ozone layer?
The hole is in the southern Hemisphere. It is at the south pole.
Is there a hole at the North Pole?
Not a hole, but there was a large ozone layer hole right above the South Pole. That ozone hole has diminished in size in the last few years, effectively "healing".
