What happens in the atmosphere when it rains?
When it rains, the air around us becomes clean and has a great effect on the ozone layer, and it has also been observed that the majority of the ozone layer (about 97%) is found in the upper atmosphere. In the stratosphere - where it is naturally formed, for example oxygen atoms combine with oxygen molecules. Here, the ozone concentration averages less than 0.002% by volume. It is small but this quantity is important, however, because it shields plants, animals, and humans from ultraviolet rays that are harmful to the sun. This ozone, which is harmful to life in a polluted environment, provides a natural protective shield in the upper atmosphere that causes; plants on the surface of the earth; They may survive.
When CFCs enter the stratosphere, UV rays break them apart and CFCs destroy chlorine. Due to this effect, the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere has decreased in the northern and southern half. And it depends on the amount of rainfall. which in the polar regions shows the amount of ozone destruction above the South Pole or the North Pole; that stratospheric ozone concentration every year during September and October due to rainfall in the atmosphere
The globe decreases and also shows that above the South Pole, and the North Pole; At the point where ozone is very low, it can be seen that the ozone layer has been restored.
