∙ 10y agoCFC gases which are pollutants are responsible for the depletion of ozone layer. CFC convert ozone to oxygen and make it useless for the absorption of UV radiation.

∙ 10y agoOzone 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.

Why is ozones bond angle larger than water H2O?
Water: 104.45° Ozone: 116.8° Difference: 12.4°
Why does a hole in the ozone layer go over antarctica?
The "hole" in the ozone layer is actually an ozon breach. An ozone breach occurs when CFC's are released into the air. CFC contains chlorine and chlorine reacts with oxygen to form chlorine monoxide and as you may know, the ozone layer is made up of 3 particles of oxygen. When chlorine reacts with oxygen, it takes away 1 particle of oxygen and turns ozones into pure oxygen (O2). This will sink back down into the troposphere and therefore, depleting the ozon layer.

Does hurricanes have weather or geologic causes?

What pathogen causes PID?
Bacteria causes PID.
Does Mars Have Ozones?
Yes It does it has 1
What is the ozones group or family?
Ozone is not an element. It is an allotrope of oxygen.
Why is chlorine the ozones enemy?
Yes, it is. Chlorine reacts with ozone in the form of CFC's.
What has destoryed some of the ozones?
CFC's have destroyed the ozone. They react with ozone to deplete it.
Are CFCs' also called ozones?
No. CFC's are chlorofluorocarbons and cause damage to ozone (O3).
How many ozones has the earth had?
The earth has only one ozone layer. It is present in the stratosphere.
What is the ozones layer location?
The ozone hole is located over Antarctica. It is quite big in size.
What can be done to help clean up the ozones problem?
See "What can we do to protect the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
What can be done to prevent Ozones from hurting people?
To prevent ozone hurting people, CFC's must be banned. They are the ones that deplete ozone.
What can you do to protect ozones depletion?
We don't want to protect the depletion of ozone, we want to protect the ozone layer. See the related question below.
What effect does the ozones absorption of ultravioletradiation have on the stratosphere?
The ozone absorption of UV rays maintain a ozone cycle. This ozone cycle is maintained by sun's rays.
Can ozones be harmful to humas?
Ozone present in the troposphere is also called as bad ozone. It is also a green house gas. It is the major constituent of the urban smog.
