...solar flares, or eruptions on the surface of the sun, are hurled through space to the earth. At lower latitudes, most of the protons are deflected by the earth's magnetic field. But near the poles, where the lines of the field bend toward the earth, the protons slam into molecules in the upper atmosphere and cause a shower of electrons. These, in turn, crash into nitrogen molecules, ionizing them and allowing them to combine with oxygen. As a result, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) are formed; both react readily with ozone molecules and cause their...
