Question

Ozone hole is Maximum over:
A.Europe
B.Antarctica
C.India
D.Africa

Answer 1

Hint- We know that poles witness different environmental conditions after a regular interval of time. Also ozone depletion and climate change are interlinked in many ways, but ozone depletion is not a major cause of climate change.

Complete step by step answer:
We must know that ozone is a gas which is composed of three atoms of oxygen\[\left( {{O_3}} \right)\]. Ozone occurs both in the Earth's ground level and also at upper atmosphere. Thickness of ozone over the North and South poles changes with the seasons being maximum in polar autumn and lowest in polar springs. Ozone holes refer to the depletion in a concentration of ozone \[\left( {{O_3}} \right)\] over an area as spring time declines over Antarctica.
Formation of an ozone hole is Maximum over Antarctica, hence the correct option is B.

Ozone layer is one of the most important layers of our atmosphere which helps in protecting earth surface from the harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the sun. Due to the extra manipulation of the environment from human, pollution and other reasons the ozone layer is degrading every day.
Additional Information: we can classify ozone as good ozone or bad ozone depending upon where it is found which is called stratospheric ozone. Good ozone occurs naturally in the upper layer of the atmosphere, where it forms one protective layer that protects the earth surface from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. This helpful ozone is regularly destroyed by synthetic chemicals which are called a "hole in the ozone." The good news is that this hole is getting reduced.

Note: We must know that the ozone at the level of ground is a harmful air pollutant because of its dangerous effects on the environment and people, and it is the main cause of “smog."
