Which risk increases to stratospheric ozone when polar vortex weakens?

💡 Explanation

Increased PSC formation occurs because a weaker polar vortex allows warmer air to penetrate, altering local atmospheric composition and temperatures which initiate increased Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) formation, therefore increasing ozone depletion rather than changes to absorption.
