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 are the holes in the ozone layer?

The Ozone Hole present in the ozone layer over the antarctic region is not actually a hole. It is the the thinning of the ozone layer below a certain level which is defined as the ozone hole. The formation and depletion of ozone is a natural ongoing process because of which the ozone layer keeps intact in the stratospheric region. However due to the use of CFC's the rate of formation is ozone is lesser than the depletion i.e. the CFC's are depleting more of ozone to make the ozone hole go bigger day by day.
