It is considered that burning fossil fuels is allowing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) to build up in the ozone layer, and is the main cause of global warming.

Why it Will take years for the ozone layer to recover even though the use of CFC has declined significantly y?
The destruction of ozone is at a par level above the natural standards. So it will take time to replenish after CFC has declined.
How do you recover the ozone?
See "What can we do to protect the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
Why didn't the ozone layer immediately recover despite the severe restriction of CFC use in the mid 1990' s?
The ozone hole that was formed was pretty large. It would take time for it to recover completely.
What is the hole in layer of atmosphere allowing harmful rays from the sun called?
The hole in the ozone layer is called 'the hole in the ozone layer'! It is also known as 'the ozone hole'. Its not really a hole. But it is an area of the ozone layer that is significantly thinner than normal. See Related links below.
What can countries do to help the ozone layer recover?
They can get together and agree to stop producing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). They did this already in Montreal in 1987, and the ozone layer is now healing itself and scientists hope if will be fully recovered by 2050, if we don't discover another destroying chemical.

Is it possible for the ozone layer to recover from global warming?
Yes, it is possible for the ozone layer to recover from global warming. This can be done by stopping the emission of greenhouse gases.
How ozone layer recover in summer in south poles?
Ozone layer forms in summer. therefore it initiates its recovery at that time.

Most meteors burn up in which layer of the atmosphere even though it's the coldest layer?
mesophere

What would be a likely consequence if the ozone layer broke down significantly?
major deaths and mutations from uv rays and cancer
What is an impermeable layer?
It is a layer that cannot be penetrated. Typically it refers to penetration by water, though it may sometimes refer to air. If water cannot permeate through a layer, that layer is impermeable.
Which layer of the earth spins giving us a magnetic field?
The entire Earth spins. No layer has a rotation rate the differs significantly from the rest of the planet. If any layer did the results would be catastrophic. The magnetic field is the result of convection currents in the outer core.
What do scientists predict the banning of the use of chlorofluorocarbons will do?
Banning the use of chlorofluorocarbons has begun to allow the ozone layer to recover. this improvement is predicted to continue.
Why do macaws live in the emergent layer?
There is food up in that layer, but also, it lives in the canopy layer. There are many other reasons why though not just of food. Probably because there is not of predators up there to eat them.
