Question 4 Seasonal changes in the ozone layer are greatest over polar regions, higher latitudes, and least over tropical areas. What accounts for this pattern? A Tropical areas have less seasonal variation in the amount of solar radiation which leads to more consistent ozone levels, while polar regions experience greater sea- sonal variation and very cold temperatures that contribute to ozone depletion. Polar regions, such as Antarctica, experience very cold temperatures that contribute to ozone depletion, and these lower latitudes also see more seasonal variation in temperatures. C Polar regions produce most of the ozone-depleting substances because they have colder seasons, and these regions also see less seasonal variation in temperatures. Weather patterns during cold seasons push ozone away from the polar regions, where it is produced, and toward tropical areas.
