Atmosphere Interview Question:

What changes in the Sun and volcanic eruptions are affecting the ozone layer in atmosphere?

Submitted by: Administrator

Yes, factors such as changes in solar radiation, as well as the formation of stratospheric particles after volcanic eruptions, do influence the ozone layer. However, neither factor can explain the average decreases observed in global total ozone over the last two decades. If large volcanic eruptions occur in the coming decades, ozone depletion will increase for several years after the eruption.
