Depletion of ozone layer: : Ozone is a gas which exists as a diatomic molecule (). At about 10 - 15 km above the surface of the earth, there exists a region which is rich in ozone. This region is called the ozonosphere. The presence of ozone layer is important as it absorbs the ultraviolet radiation from the sun and thereby prevents the radiation from reaching the surface of the earth. Unfortunately, the amount of ozone in the ozonosphere is gradually being depleted due to some human activities. Certain types of compounds of carbon, fluorine and chlorine, called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or freons, are freely used in air-conditioners, refrigerators, aerosol sprays, shaving foam, etc. Freons rise up very high in the atmosphere and break down to form chlorine atoms. These chlorine atoms interact with the ozone to form oxygen. As ozone gets converted into oxygen, the amount of ozone in the ozone Iayer decreases. Over time this has created an ozone-deficient area in the atmosphere. This area is called the ozone hole. This is most prominent over Antarctica.

My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
