The ozone doesn't quite destroy its own molecules. Ultra-violet rays from the sun, that penetrate through the ozone break it's molecules apart. One molecule of ozone contains 3 atoms of oxygen. When the molecule splits, it releases heat. Then, one molecule of oxygen (2 atoms) and one atom of oxygen join together again, and become ozone (3 atoms of oxygen).
