Due to the depletion of the ozone layer at a rate of 7 percent per year, a large hole of 10 million square km has formed in it. Where is this hole located?
The massive ozone hole, which has formed due to chemical depletion, is located specifically above Antarctica. Every spring in the Southern Hemisphere, unique atmospheric conditions and cold temperatures over the South Pole trigger chemical reactions that rapidly destroy ozone. This results in a significant thinning of the layer, allowing more ultraviolet radiation to reach the surface in that region. ANSWER: (D) Above Antarctica
