The ‘ozone hole’ is formed every year in Spring time over:

A.

China

B.

Antarctica

C.

South America

D.

Japan

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Antarctica.

  • The ozone hole forms every year in the spring over Antarctica.

Information Booster:

  • The ozone hole is not technically a “hole” where no ozone is present, but is actually a region of exceptionally depleted ozone in the stratosphere over the Antarctic that happens at the beginning of Southern Hemisphere spring (August–October).
  • The ozone hole is caused by the presence of chlorine and bromine from ozone depleting substances in the stratosphere.
  • These substances are mainly human-produced halocarbon gases.
  • The ozone hole is seasonal and occurs in late winter and early spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
