Ozone Hole
A thinning break in the stratospheric ozone layer. Designation of amount of such depletion as an "ozone hole" is made when the detected amount of depletion exceeds fifty percent.
Ozone Hole - The ozone hole refers to the total amount of ozone in the atmosphere over Antarctica that was discovered to be decreasing at an alarming rate. The hole was discovered over an observation site in Antarctica by J.C. Farman, B.G.
ozone hole - a hole or gap in the protective layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere.

Ozone Hole - Thin place in the ozone layer located in the stratosphere high above the Earth. Stratospheric ozone thinning has been linked to destruction of stratospheric ozone by CFCs and related chemicals.
* Ozone hole
A large area of intense stratospheric ozone depletion over the Antarctic continent that typically occurs annually between late August and early October, and generally ends in mid-November.
O ozone hole
Definition (english only)
A sharp seasonal decrease in stratospheric ozone concentration that occurs over Antarctica in the spring.
THE OZONE HOLE ON ANIMALS AND PLANTS
UV rays can go through water and end up killing small water animals or plants, called 'plankton' which form the base of the food chain in oceans and seas.
#5 The ozone hole does not cause global warming.
Ozone depletion is a different problem, caused mainly by CFCs (like Freon) once used in refrigerators and air conditioners.

Detailed information about the hole in the ozone over Antarctica, provided by the Centre for Atmospheric Science at Cambridge University.
Antarctic "Ozone Hole"- Refers to the seasonal depletion of ozone in the upper atmosphere above a large area of Antarctica.
Catalysis is relevant to many aspects of environmental science--for instance, the study of the catalytic converter in cars and the catalysis involved in the ozone hole.
Does the “ozone hole' have anything to do with climate change?
Hasn't the Earth's climate changed before? What's different about climate change today?
Why is it a problem if the Earth's average temperature gets a little warmer?
Ozone depletion, including the phenomenon known as the Ozone Hole.

Global warming from carbon dioxide radiative forcing is expected (perhaps somewhat surprisingly) to cool the stratosphere. This, in turn, would lead to a relative increase in ozone depletion and the frequency of ozone holes.
