Key chemical reactions that lead to ozone depletion happen on the surface of rare polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), which form high up in the atmosphere. Here, sunlight breaks down the CFCs into products that react to produce chlorine, which in turn decomposes ozone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This implicates so-called mountain waves, which are created when an airstream flows over high relief.
