Solution

Ozone hole is found above the continent of Antarctica.

Explanation:

In the 1980s, scientists discovered a large hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, which is as big as the USA. This phenomenon is due to the depletion of ozone caused by chemicals like Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The ozone layer is thinnest and most damaged over Antarctica compared to other regions, making this continent the location of the largest ozone hole .
