Those are kind of answering, but i think this will answer your question better. http://www.epa.gov/ozone/science/hole/whyant.html

The ozone layer is depleting all over, but there is a definite hole only over antarctica.

Answer 2

The so-called holes in the ozone layer are approximately above the Earth's magnetic poles Consider the movement of alpha- and beta- particles in a magnetic field, and the Van Allen Belts, and their effects on radiation (of all types) received from the Sun. Next, consider the fact that the sun's rays are normal to the stratosphere only between the latitudes of 23.5 deg. N and 23.5 deg. South. Near the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circles the Sun's rays are parallel or near parallel to the surface when not masked by the Earth itself.

BTW Who do the harmful UVB rays impinge upon when they pass through the holes in the ozone layer?

Answer 3

The depletion is going on everywhere but it is heaviest at the poles. The circulation of the atmosphere is probably concentrating the gasses that cause ozone depletion near the poles

Answer 4

Are there? And is it? That relies upon on what scientists/geologists you ask. it fairly is extremely controversial. Ozone is 3 oxygen atoms (:O:O:O:blended, as destructive to the conventional 2. often called "nascent oxgen", it fairly is risky and does not final very long. At any fee, whilst it does exist, it fairly is heavier than commonly used :O:O:, and maintains to be decrease interior the ambience. Ozone may well be "smelled", after a thunderstorm, as a sweetish scent, some call "clean air". (lol). My own opinion is that the "ozone holes" are an invention. they don't exist.

Answer 5

probably because of its function is to be destroyed by the UV photons, and repair itself at a similar rate of destruction to mainatian equilibrium.
the actual factors contributing to depletion, is actually just hindering, or slowing its ability to "rejuvenate", so areas appear to be getting thinner.
since the poles are areas that end up with long periods of sun, depending on the time of year, it only makes sense that that UV damage from the sun will happen a little faster when a given pole is experience its long period of daylight.

Answer 6

My ozone layer is also depleted. No one has the answer.

Answer 7

Damn good question never thought of that. I can just guess that perhaps the cold temperature has something to do with it.
