Describe the process by which chloroflurocarbons deplete the ozone layer?

When chlorofluorocarbons are presented with electromagnetic radiation, such as the radiation that exists in the atmosphere, they give off free halogen radicals. These free radicals are highly reactive and participate in reactions with the ozone that create a halogen monoxide and an oxygen atom. In this way, the ozone is depleted.

How does forestation deplete the ozone layer?
Forestation helps the ozone. It doesn't deplete it.
What is the destruction of ozone by chloroflurocarbons?
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.
When will the ozone layer deplete?
tommorrow
