The ozone layer can be larger

Abnormal activity of the sun can expand the ozone layer hole in the next few years, according to the German Institute of Atmospheric Physics.

When studying the 11-year abnormal activity of the sun, scientists from the German Institute of Atmospheric Physics found that these activities not only slowed the recovery process but also expanded the holes. of the ozone layer of the earth's atmosphere.

The recovery process can only begin in 2010, but it will take 40 to 50 years for the ozone layer to protect the earth to fully recover.

Although the world has succeeded in reducing CFC emissions that damage the ozone layer, computer models of increased activity of the sun and dust from active volcanoes into the atmosphere have shown, The ozone layer continues to be destroyed.

The computer accurately predicted the ozone layer from 1960 to 2003, and this is the basis for trusting the computer's forecast results for the ozone layer in the coming years.
