Is the ozone thickening or thining?

Answer 1

No, depletion means thinning.

The ozone layer is being depleted by chlorofluorocarbons which decomposes in the presence of short wavelength ultraviolet radiation from the sun. the chlorine radical produce in this reaction reacts with the ozone. The oxygen atoms present in the stratosphere reacts with the ClO to produce more chlorine radical.t herefore one chlorine radical produce can destroy many molecules of ozones.Thus a chain reaction is initiated.

Answer 2

The ozone layer is no longer thinning. Ozone levels have in the past been decreasing because of ozone depleting chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

Thanks to worldwide agreement and compliance with the 1987 UN Montreal Protocol (which agreed to phase out ozone depleting chemicals) global ozone depletion is no longer increasing. The Montreal Protocol is the most (some would say only) successful international agreement and scientists hope the ozone layer will have completely recovered by 2060.

Answer 3

The ozone layer is thinning due to the release of man-made chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons. These compounds break down ozone molecules in the stratosphere, leading to a reduction in ozone concentration. Efforts to reduce the use of these chemicals have helped slow down the thinning of the ozone layer.

Answer 4

The ozone layer is thinning due to the excessive use of CFC's by the human race which react with ozone and deplete it.
