The ozone hole is not actually a hole in ozone. Its just the thinning of ozone molecules below a certain limit. This phenomenon of ozone depletion is caused by a number of natural as well as man made reasons. Natural factors include Volcanic Eruptions while the man made are the use of CFC's and halons which react with the ozone present in the ozone layer to deplete it.
