Why does the ozone layer appear in Antarctica? Why is it cold when Antarctica has no ozone layer?

You misunderstood.

The ozone layer is covered throughout the Earth's atmosphere.

The hole in the ozone layer in Antarctica turned out to be a deep vortex over Antarctica during the winter half of the year, and the air flow rotated clockwise along the Antarctic plateau, sealing the Antarctic continent. Ozone-rich air currents from the equator cannot enter the sky over Antarctica. And the air that rises in the vortex because the air temperature falls much faster than the actual temperature in the atmosphere is distributed with altitude.

In addition, the Antarctic Plateau has a high altitude and low temperature, so it forms a very low temperature environment. At an altitude of 20 kilometres where the ozone layer is located, temperatures often fall below 80 (much lower than in the Arctic). As the air rises in the Antarctic vortex, a large number of clouds of ice crystals are formed, and the ice crystals in the clouds continue to absorb chlorofluorocarbon gases in higher concentrations.

Once the Antarctic spring (September) arrives and the polar night ends, the ice clouds heat up under the sun's rays, and chlorofluorocarbon gas is rapidly released. Whereas, the chlorofluorocarbon molecule begins to release chlorine atoms under ultraviolet light ......The destruction of the ozone layer, described above, begins immediately, and the ozone hole occurs in the ozone layer due to the large loss of ozone. Once the Antarctic vortex is broken or destroyed in late spring, a large amount of fresh air from the ozone-rich equator from the south enters the Antarctic sky, and the ozone hole disappears in a hurry.

Nowadays, many refrigerators and air conditioners have chemicals called freon, which is a major substance that destroys ozone, so there are some "fluorine-free" refrigerators in the market.

The ozone layer has the effect of protecting the earth from ultraviolet rays.

Classmate, you should be talking about the ozone hole, which is found at both poles, but the South Pole is a bit larger. The ozone layer surrounds the entire surface of the earth.

The earth is surrounded by an ozone layer, and the Antarctic cold freezes the ozone, so it is empty.

The ozone layer is in the atmosphere and surrounds the entire atmosphere, not just Antarctica.

The ozone layer is found everywhere on Earth, and the hole in the ozone layer only appeared in Antarctica.

Boss, the ozone layer isn't just in Antarctica.

I thought that when I looked at hgwyj011 - Xiucai, the answer was so good, and the question should be given 10 points.

The upstairs is so professional, admire and admire!

It's too layman to ask questions.

Antarctica's cold is due to high latitude, not because of the loss of the ozone layer.

The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica has been a problem for years, and 2021 was no exception. According to NASA, the Antarctic ozone hole reached its maximum area on October 7, the 13th largest since 1979, and it is indeed a large ozone hole with an even larger extent than Antarctica, scientists believe that Antarctica has experienced colder-than-usual winters, resulting in a larger-than-average extent and depth of the ozone layer hole.

According to satellite observations, the maximum area of Antarctica's ozone hole reached 24.8 million square kilometers in October, roughly the size of Antarctica + Europe. With a series of changes in the atmosphere over Antarctica, the hole began to shrink in mid-October, and by late December, scientists confirmed that Antarctica's ozone hole was close to closure and could close completely by the end of 2021.

The main role of the ozone layer is to absorb the sun's ultraviolet rays. The Antarctic continent is the coldest continent in the world, and the reason why it is so cold here is mainly due to its high latitude and high terrain, and the continent is covered by ice and snow all year round.

An ozone hole is an area in the stratosphere where ozone concentrations are abnormally low. Although the ozone hole is widely discussed in Antarctica, in fact they are not limited to Antarctica, and there is a similar phenomenon in the Arctic, although the Arctic does not reduce ozone as much as in Antarctica. In other regions, stratospheric ozone decreases due to chemical reactions and natural fluctuations.

However, Antarctica's unique geographical and climatic conditions make it the world's most famous ozone hole-forming region. Antarctica experiences intense polar nights and polar days during winter, and during the polar nights, Antarctica's atmosphere is completely isolated, creating an environment similar to a closed interior, making chemical reactions more concentrated and intense. In addition, the polar vortex in Antarctica also plays an important role in the formation of the ozone hole.

Polar vortices concentrate air currents and create areas of high pressure, accentuating Antarctica's low and dry environment, further accelerating the rate of chemical reactions. The combination of these factors makes Antarctica an ideal area for the ozone hole.

The ozone hole is only found in Antarctica because the Antarctic polar environment is colder than other regions and is more prone to the formation of the ozone layer, and the air in the Antarctic Pole is cleaner than other regions, making it easier to form an ozone hole.
