Ozone depletion is a theory. It is not a law because it is not passed to government.

Who developed the CFC Ozone Depletion Theory?

The CFC Ozone Depletion Theory was developed by chemists Mario Molina, F. Sherwood Rowland, and Paul Crutzen in the 1970s. They showed that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) released into the atmosphere can deplete the ozone layer.


Why is CFC depletion of the ozone layer a theory and not a scientific law?

A law is a fundamental requirement of Nature, that is never violated. Science really has no "laws" any longer. All our previous "laws" are subject to experimental testing, so they have also become theories. Ones that are pretty close to laws are conservation of momentum (and from there conservation of energy), of spin, net production of entropy. A theory is a guess at a mechanism, that makes a prediction, and the prediction is challenged by experiment. Observations were made that CFC "fragments" were found in areas of low ozone concentration. The assumption was made that CFCs contributed to ozone depletion. CFCs were then tested in the lab to see if they: contributed to ozone depletion (they do), and were persistent (they are).


Ozone depletion occurs in the?

Ozone depletion occurs in the ozone layer.


What is definition of Ozone layer depletion?

Ozone depletion is the depletion of ozone molecules. It is happening because of CFC's.


What is the mjor cause of the ozone depletion?

The major cause of ozone depletion is the reaction of CFC with ozone. They decompose ozone and cause its depletion.


Which layer of the atmosphere is affected the most during Diwali?

The stratosphere. there's a theory call stratospheric ozone depletion that causes the greenhouse effect and global warming and depletion if the ozone layer


What are the solutions the depletion of the ozone layer?

The solution for ozone depletion is curbing CFC's. They could prevent ozone depletion.


What does zone depletion refer to?

Ozone depletion refers to the depletion of ozone molecules. These molecules are present in the ozone layer.


Does the atmosphere prevent depletion of the ozone over Antarctica?

The atmosphere does not protect the ozone depletion. It is the region where the ozone depletion occurs.


What is depletion zone?

Ozone depletion is the thinning of ozone layer below a certain concentration. This phenomenon is termed as ozone depletion.


Is global warming a factor that cause ozone depletion or a result of ozone depletion?

Global warming and ozone depletion are not related.


What causes the depletion of the ozone?

CFC's cause depletion of ozone. It reacts with ozone to deplete it.
