The ozone layer is created when the solar winds collide with the earth's magnetic field. It is also called the Van Allan Belt. The atoms in the solar wind is all ionized because of the sun's heat. There are 2 parts . The beta particles that is attracted to the North pole and makes it negative. The other part is alfa particles and they are attracted to the south pole and makes it positive. . At the same time every year they form a particle gun that blows a hole in the ozone layer at the poles.Now back to the charges at the poles ,this voltage and current holds the O3 and stabilizes the ozone layer . There is a built in automatic repair system to repair the ozone layer.If the ozone layer gets thin it will let alfa particles to come through and bombard the Nitrogen which will trans mutate to oxygen which repairers the ozone layer.
