What is ozone depleetion?
The ozone depletion refers to the thinning of ozone layer due to a no. of factors which include the man made and the natural ones. The natural depletion does not contribute to the ozone hole as the rate of formation of ozone hole is in equilibrium with the depletion. However due to the use of the harmful chlorofluorocarbons by the human beings the rate of depletion of ozone is increasing considerably thus leaving the rate of formation far behind. This difference in the formation rate and depletion rate leads to ozone hole.
What is ozone depletion caused by?
Ozone depletion is caused by the Ozone Depleting Substances(ODS) which are man-made chemicals and stay in the stratosphere causing the rate of depletion of ozone greater than its rate of formation.
Does ozone cause ozone depletion?
No. Less ozone would cause less depletion, if that were the case. We have less ozone each year, and the rate of depletion does not correlate with the amount we have. See the related questions section below.
Why depletion layer thin?
Depletion layer is thin now. It is called depletion when the concentration is below 380 Dobson Units.
What is depletion zone?
Ozone depletion is the thinning of ozone layer below a certain concentration. This phenomenon is termed as ozone depletion.
How do you depletion in a sentence?
Example sentence - The rapid depletion of the natural resources is happening at an accelerated rate.

What is the depletion rate of South American rainforests due to harvesting?
The depletion rate of South American rain forests due to harvesting is 21,000 square miles per year. A great area of the Brazilian Amazon has been cut down already.
Is the rate of production of oxygen by photosynthesis in green plant suficient to balance the steady depletion of oxygen?
Yes
Why if it is a natural phenomenon is it problem?
The formation of ozone and its depletion is a natural phenomenon but at the same time the various man made factors such as the CFC's, the gases released from the jet planes are increasing the rate of depletion which was earlier in equilibrium with the rate of formation of ozone. Thus it can be said that humans are the ones most responsible for it.
The depletion of this natural resource within many parts of South America could seriously increase the rate of global warming?
The depletion of Rainforests could increase rate of global warming. It is because these forests absorb carbon dioxide. In their presence this greenhouse gas would cause global warming.
Why are catalysts so destructive to the stratospheric ozone layer?
Catalysts increase the rate of depletion. They increase the efficiency of compounds depleting ozone.
What is depletion of environment?
depletion of environment
What is Ozong Depletion?
ozone depletion is the depletion of ozone molecules. It is due to CFC's reacting iwth it.
What is definition of Ozone layer depletion?
Ozone depletion is the depletion of ozone molecules. It is happening because of CFC's.
