Alternative theories on ozone layer formation.?

Question

I believe that the main theory is that the ozone was formed due to electrical discharges of lightnings. Is this proven? Are there any opponent theories?

I guess I'll have to be more specific. I know and I'm sure that you all know too what's ozone and what's it for. I want to know if a current theory is proven, and are there any theories that rival the main one? Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

Lightning occurs low in the atmosphere in the troposphere. Ozone is formed in the stratosphere when oxygen molecules photodissociate after absorbing an ultraviolet photon from the sun. This produces two oxygen atoms. The atomic oxygen then combines with O2 to create O3.

Answer 2

Lets get u updated. The solar winds from the sun is ionized due to the tremendous heat. As it comes to the earth one of the first things is the Magnetic field. The beta particles are attracted to the north pole and makes it negative, The beta particles are attracted to the south pole and makes it positive. This holds a huge electrical charge across the O3 layer and flows a great current that protects the ozone layer. A different times of the year the alfa and beta particles break through the ozone layer and Like an alfa particle gun actually blows a hole in the ozone layer. The current is so great that if u are flying a missile through it u must shut down the high voltage or it will arc over and burn something up.

The ozone layer is essential for human life. It is able to absorb much harmful ultraviolet radiation, preventing penetration to the earth's surface.Any theory for the antarctic ozone hole has to
(1) be consistent with what is already known about stratospheric chemistry and dynamics (or make a good case for rejecting something that is "acceptable"or "known")
(2) explain its seasonal dependence (maximum in the spring, rather than winter or summer), its vertical dependence (near 100% destruction of ozone in the lower stratosphere,
essentially no effect in the upper stratosphere) and, of course,
why it's in the antarctic.
i agree with you

Answer 4

Ozone is one of three forms, called allotropes, of the element oxygen. Ozone is triatomic, meaning that it has three atoms in each molecule (formula O3). Ordinary, or diatomic, oxygen (O2) is more stable than ozone and accounts for the bulk of oxygen in the atmosphere. Electrical sparks and ultraviolet light can cause ordinary oxygen to form ozone. The presence of ozone sometimes causes a detectable odor near electrical outlets.

Answer 5

i dont think so. O2 is more stable than O3 and converting O2 to O3 is endothermic. Lightniing does produce O3 from O2 but as to any other sources of energy to produce O3 i am not aware of any... only guess might be solar wind but i think that wouldnt do it directly it might cause electrical storms which in turn produce O3 but thats still lightning
in other wordds it is proven, i dont think it often happens other ways. but i dont actually know

Answer 6

Ozone is actually the exhaust from the space ships of ancient astronauts. The space ships came from the planet Zeno. Any fool who's studied the bible (while holding it upsidedown and reading it in a mirror) knows THAT!

Answer 7

We can save the ozone layer by stopping pollutants and fossil fules from burning if everyone chooses e85 ethinol an natural gas made from corn we will have an much cleaner non lung cancer environment! THE GOV AND GAS COMPANIES ARE MAKING TO MUCH MONEY BECAUSE OF FOSSIL FULES THATSW THE REASON WERE IN IRAQ RIGHT NOW!
