What is the severity of ozone layer depletion in Antarctica region?
– The severity of destruction of ozone layer in the Antarctica region depends greatly on the seasons. The maximum destruction occurs during spring-winter in the months from August to November. The peak destruction of ozone layer in this region occurs in the month of October reducing the level of ozone by as much as two thirds in some locations leading to the formation of ozone hole. The size of the ozone hole can be as large as the size of the Antarctica continent.
