why is there a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica and not America or Europe?

Question

and is there any other holes in the ozone layer?

Answer 1

Really thought provoking question.

When we reduce the Earth's atmosphere to a globe size it becomes easier to imagine.
Ozone (O3) is very slightly affected by magnetic charge of the earth. It is thus slightly sparse over the magnetic poles than over the equater. Because of the slight tilt of the position of the earth relative to the position of the Sun , south pole became the first easy entrance for the uninvited sun rays to gatecrash into the envelope.

The next hole would be over the 75 degree latitude in the northern hemisphere.

Perhaps it is a warning before a punishment for the earths inhabitants, you and I.

Answer 2

The ozone layer is created whilst the photograph voltaic wind collides with the earth's magnetic field. There are the beta debris that are attracted to the north pole and make it adverse. then the Alpha debris are attracted to the south pole and that makes it useful. the hollow is extra reported interior the south because of the fact the Alpha particle has lots extra mass. the hollow happens like a particle gun that blows the hollow interior the ozone layer and whilst interior the north u see the northern lighting fixtures.

Answer 3

The discovery of the Antarctic "ozone hole" by British Antarctic Survey scientists Farman, Gardiner and Shanklin (announced in a paper in Nature in May 1985) came as a shock to the scientific community, because the observed decline in polar ozone was far larger than anyone had anticipated. Satellite measurements showing massive depletion of ozone around the south pole were becoming available at the same time. However, these were initially rejected as unreasonable by data quality control algorithms (they were filtered out as errors since the values were unexpectedly low); the ozone hole was detected only in satellite data when the raw data was reprocessed following evidence of ozone depletion in in situ observations. Susan Solomon, an atmospheric chemist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), proposed that chemical reactions on polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) in the cold Antarctic stratosphere caused a massive, though localized and seasonal, increase in the amount of chlorine present in active, ozone-destroying forms. The polar stratospheric clouds are formed in Antarctica are only formed when there is very low temperature as low as -80 degree C and early spring conditions. In such conditions the ice crystals of the cloud provide a suitable surface for conversion of unreactive chlorine compounds into reactive chlorine compounds which can deplete ozone easily. Moreover the polar vortex formed over Antarctica is very tight and the reaction whcih occours on the surface of the cloud crystals is far more different than when it occours in atmosphere. These conditions has lead to ozone hole formation in Antarctica. This hypothesis was decisively confirmed, first by laboratory measurements and subsequently by direct measurements, from the ground and from high-altitude airplanes, of very high concentrations of chlorine monoxide (ClO) in the Antarctic stratosphere. Alternative hypotheses, which had attributed the ozone hole to variations in solar UV radiation or to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, were also tested and shown to be untenable. Meanwhile, analysis of ozone measurements from the worldwide network of ground-based Dobson spectrophotometers led an international panel to conclude that the ozone layer was in fact being depleted, at all latitudes outside of the tropics. These trends were confirmed by satellite measurements. As a consequence, the major halocarbon producing nations agreed to phase out production of CFCs, halons, and related compounds, a process that was completed in 1996. Crutzen, Molina, and Rowland were awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on stratospheric ozone.

Since 1981 the United Nations Environment Programme has sponsored a series of reports on scientific assessment of ozone depletion. The most recent is from 2006.

Answer 4

For the same reason you see auroras at the poles and not in other places.

Answer 5

It has to be where no normal man would normally travel. A very good place to start a hoax.

Answer 6

i thought it was over the north pole but idk but i do know that laast time i checked they said it was closing up and should be gone in like 50 or more years

Answer 7

no god there
