What is the meaning of ozone layer depletion?

Answer 1

Stratospheric ozone depletion is a concern because the ozone layer in the stratosphere keeps 95-99% of the suns ultraviolet radiation from striking the earth.

Answer 2

Depletion is an abnormal reduction in the amount of something. So ozone depletion would be inclusive of a larger than normal ozone hole (there has likely always been a hole of some size in winter/spring), and / or increases in UV-B arriving at the Earth's surface (meaning the path from the Sun to the Earth's surface has less ozone along it to absorb UV-B).

Answer 3

The ozone depletion is the thinning of ozone layer. It is most prominent over Antarctica.

Answer 4

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.

Answer 5

Ozone depletion is caused most over Antarctica. It is due to CFC's reacting with it.

Answer 6

From the refrigeration, AC, Aerosol sprays CFC (chlorofluoro carbons) are producing.It is entering the atmosphere.This CFC will release chlorine which breaks ozone into oxygen.

Answer 7

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.

Answer 8

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
