What happens during Ozone Depletion?

• Ozone layer is simply diminishing

• The Ozone Depletion gradually gets smaller

• Has major effects on Ozone

• One Chlorine Atom destroys less than 800 Ozone

What is the "Greenhouse Effect"

• Makes temperatures wonky on Earth

• Trapping of the sun’s heat in the atmosphere

• Gases that cause the atmosphere to trap necessary products in there
