Hey dear here is your answer!!!!!


___________________________


We know that our planet is active and changes keep occurring all around us. And one of these is moving winds. Several winds blow all over our planet all the time. These winds carry ozone depleting substances from all over the globe to the Antarctica where they gather and polarize to form stratospheric clouds. This depleted the ozone over there resulting in an ozone hole. So, it really isn't dependent over where the humans live, it actually is a phenomenon related to the pattern of wind flow !


Ozone depleting substances break the Ozone O₃.


This is how it occurs:-


O₃⇄O₂ + [O] ( in presence of UV light)

The very low winter temperatures in the Antarctic stratosphere cause PSCs to form.
The isolation of polar stratospheric clouds allows for chlorine and bromine reactions to produce the ozone hole there.
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are formed when winter minimum temperatures fall below the formation temperature of about −78°C.

There is no infrastructure down there for people to live.
The only people there are scientists in research bases and travellers on expedition ships.
