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.

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.

Why is the ozone layer thining?

Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
