because of ozone depletion, global warming is taking place, which has already started to affect us. . . drought, famine, unusual cyclones, typhoons are consequences of the ozone depletion. . . it is said that one molecule of CFC reacts with thousands ( i don't remember the exact number) molecule of ozone, which created this hole in the south pole. CFC is found in many objects we use in our daily life. in the refrigerator, on sprays like perfumes, etc. . . the south pole is being affected seriously because of this depletion. much of its ice has already melted, causing a rise in the level of the sea. Islands like Maldives (found in the Indian ocean) which is only a few centimeters above the sea will suffer a lot because of this. in some years time they will surely have to immigrate somewhere else. because the ice in the south pole is not salted water, it is not of the same density as the sea water. therefore, when it enters the sea, it disturbs the cycle ( that of sea and land breeze). this is actually why near the equator, the temperature if falling and in other parts, the temperature is rising. i hope my answer has help you. see you . . .

the ozone depleation is when gases get stuck inside the ozone layer and some of the gases get out and this all happens because the cars and motor veicals burn the gas and makes toxic gasses

Ozone depletion is where 3 oxygen molecules are put together but are being destroyed by chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) which created a massive hole over Antarctica and is causing the ice caps to melt. Experts state that it should end by the 21st century!! thank you very much

ozone depletion is when the gases from cars and factories and CFC all go up in the atmosphere and burn a hole in the ozone layer until there is no more ozone to burn up and we all die.
