Where does the ozone hole occur? |
North pole South pole The arctic Stratosphere |
South pole |
The correct answer is option 2. South pole. The South Pole experienced ozone hole, known as ozone layer depletion in the 1980s. Chlorine sinks are created in the summer when NO2 and CH4 interact with chlorine atoms and chlorine monoxide, avoiding significant ozone depletion. Polar stratospheric clouds, a unique type of cloud, develop above Antarctica throughout the winter. |
