Ozone holes have
always been a problem. But never have they formed so
dramatically until the spring of 1997. When we use
these devices, they transfer their energy to the
stratosphere, which is why the ozone holes
form.
The whole 'Ozone Timeline'
started in the 1980's when the scientists found out
the ozone was being polluted by certain chemicals
called fluorocarbons. This was major, because the
ozone layer protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays,
and causes global warming. But, it was causing holes
in our stratosphere, the second lowest layer in the
atmosphere, and that is why it is referred to as
"holes" in the atmosphere. This was a major historical
event that happened not too long ago.
A lot of the Earth's
ozone-destroying pollutants come from the north of our
planet, then travel down to the southern hemisphere.
Once they get there, they destroy 51% of our ozone
holes. But, considering how much electricity we use in
our modern time, they come back very quickly. Ozone
holes are planet girdling atmospheric
waves.
Researchers caution that the
cold climate could undo the work of the scientific
waves and ozone holes and could become more common in
the future. The chemistry of the ozone layer must be
very cold, just like the climate near the South Pole.
Mountains and land-sea areas combine to make
undulation called 'planetary Scale waves' or 'long
waves', which heat the air up in Antarctica. Planetary
scale waves are so large that they could wrap
themselves around the whole earth! Unlike water waves,
which go up and down, planetary scale waves displace
the north air and south air as they travel around the
earth. The order of the atmosphere is the troposphere,
stratosphere, where the ozone holes form, mesosphere,
and the thermosphere`.
We can resolve all the ozone
problems by simply using less electricity and causing
less air pollution by using less gas. When we use
these devices, they transfer their energy to the
stratosphere, which is why the ozone holes form. After
all, one ozone hole is enough for the whole earth!
