Ozone is a molecule made of 3 oxygen atoms. It is formed by the action of UV light on Oxygen high up in the upper atmosphere. Ozone filters out UV light from reaching the surface of the earth and thus acts as Earth's sun screen.
Ozone is destroyed by the presence of man made CFC gasses in the atmosphere (propellants used for spray cans and as the refrigerant is fridges). The CFC gases destroy the Ozone and thus where the Ozone layer is thinnest (over the poles where the Sun's UV light is weakest) the Ozone disappears and a hole is formed.

What does ozone depletion lead too?
Ozone depletion leads to ozone holes. These ozone holes are present over the poles.
Is HAARP responsible for the holes in the ozone?
No. The holes in the ozone layer formed years before H.A.A.R.P. existed.
Where are all of the ozone holes located?
There are many holes in the ozone layer, the largest is above the south pole.
Location of holes in the ozone?
The 2 holes are over poles. They are not actually holes.
What chemicals have caused holes to appear in the ozone layer?
CFC's have caused holes to appear. They react with ozone and deplete it.
Depletion of ozone layer and formation of ozone hole in polar regions?
Unrelated. Ozone holes form annually at each pole.
When space station goes to the orbit then ozone hole is form or not?
The Space Station doesn't form holes in the Ozone. Pollution on Planet Earth does that.
What are holes in ozone layer?
The holes in ozone are not actually holes. They are lowered concentration of ozone.
What are holes in the ozone layar?
The holes in ozone layer is the thinning of ozone. It is caused by CFC's.
What does ozone depletion lead too?
Ozone depletion leads to ozone holes. These ozone holes are present over the poles.
Why do you have holes in the ozone layer?
Holes in ozone layer is the thinning of ozone layer. It is because of use of ODS by humans.
How are the ozone layer holes caused?
Ozone holes are the thinning of ozone molecules. This is caused by man made or natural processes.
Why do ozone layers have holes in then?
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.
What impact does holes in the ozone layer have on biotic?
Holes in ozone layer are the thinning of ozone layer. They cause loss of life of flora and fauna.
Why is the ozone lair getting holes in it?
Ozone layer is getting holes in it. It is due to the man made ODS's.
Is HAARP responsible for the holes in the ozone?
No. The holes in the ozone layer formed years before H.A.A.R.P. existed.
Where are all of the ozone holes located?
There are many holes in the ozone layer, the largest is above the south pole.
