Question

The hole in the ozone layer is most dramatic over ____.  
A) Antarctica
B) North America
C) Asia
D) Europe
E) Africa

Accepted Answer

The hole in the ozone layer is most dramatic over Antarctica, where it was first discovered in the 1980s. The depletion of the ozone layer is caused by human activities, such as the use of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) in refrigerants and aerosol sprays. The thinning of the ozone layer over Antarctica has led to increased levels of UV radiation, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
