Which of the following is true about the ozone hole?
It is a hole in the ozone layer over the Arctic.
It is caused by the release of CFCs into the atmosphere.
It has no effect on the Earth's climate.
It is a recent phenomenon.
Answers (1)
The ozone hole is a thinning of the ozone layer over the Antarctic caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. It does not affect the Earth's climate directly but does increase the amount of harmful UV radiation that reaches the surface. The ozone hole was first discovered in the 1980s and is an ongoing issue. Hence option B is the correct answer.
Option (A) is incorrect because the given statement it is a hole in the ozone layer over the Arctic is not correct. Hence option A is incorrect.
Option (C) is incorrect because the given statement it has no effect on the Earth's climate is not correct. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option (D) is incorrect because the given statement it is a recent phenomenon, is not correct. Hence option D is incorrect.
