Which of the following is true regarding the ozone hole over the Antarctic region?
It is a hole in the stratospheric ozone layer caused by human-made pollutants
It is a seasonal depletion of stratospheric ozone due to natural factors such as low temperatures and polar winds
It is a temporary phenomenon that occurs every few years and does not have any long-term effects on the ozone layer
It is a result of the depletion of the tropospheric ozone layer due to pollution from human activities
The ozone hole over the Antarctic region is a seasonal depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer that occurs during the Southern Hemisphere's spring, which is caused by a combination of low temperatures, high altitude, and polar winds. While human-made pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been shown to contribute to ozone depletion, they are not the primary cause of the Antarctic ozone hole.
