See "What does the ozone layer do?" in the "Related questions" section below.
The ozone layer is a concentration of ozone (O3) molecules in the stratosphere, located about 10-30 miles above Earth's surface. It plays a crucial role in absorbing the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, protecting life on Earth from its damaging effects. However, human activities have led to ozone depletion, particularly due to the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), leading to the formation of the ozone hole.

The release of CFC's lead to ozone layer depletion. It reacts with ozone to deplete it.
The use of CFC's deplete ozone. They react with ozone.
We thinned it.
The hole in the ozone layer is primarily caused by human activities releasing chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. These CFCs break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.
No, the ozone layer is not completely depleted, but it has been damaged by human activities such as the use of certain chemicals.
Human activities that damage the ozone layer include the release of substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, and other ozone-depleting substances. These chemicals are commonly found in refrigerants, aerosol cans, and foam products. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules, leading to the thinning of the ozone layer.
Humans produce CFC's. These CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.
Large number of activities are there in ozone layer. Depletion and destruction is also there.
The use of CFC contributed to depletion of ozone. It is because they react with ozone to decompose it.
In the past, the ozone layer was healthier and thicker than it is today. Human activities, such as the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), have led to ozone depletion, resulting in a thinner ozone layer. Efforts to reduce CFC emissions have been made to protect and restore the ozone layer.
