How does the ozone hole affect the climate?
assistant
The ozone hole is a region of the upper atmosphere that is depleted in ozone. This depletion has been linked to increased UV radiation reaching Earth's surface, which can have negative effects on plants and animals. The depletion of the ozone layer also causes an increase in temperatures in the lower atmosphere, leading to changes in wind patterns and precipitation. These changes can lead to shifts in weather patterns, such as more intense storms and droughts.
