The ozone layer is the layer which helps in providing protection against the harmful ultraviolet radiations.
Explanation:
The three human activities which are responsible for ozone layer depletion are as follows:
1. The excess use of chlorofluorocarbons in the electrical devices like refrigerator and air conditioners.
2. The excess use of nitrogenous fertilizers in the agriculture field.
3. The nuclear testing
All these processes exposes the halides and other chemicals which directly react with the ozone layer causing depletion.
