At high altitude, molecules of ozone form a protective layer that blocks harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. Chlorine monoxide is a gas in the atmosphere that plays a significant role in the depletion of ozone. Hydrogen chloride is a gas that forms when ozone-depleting chemicals in the atmosphere are broken down by sunlight. Nitric acid is a gas that can affect the rate at which ozone depletion occurs.
