Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
Cl + O3 = ClO + O2
step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer
Chain reactions
Neutrons released in a fission reaction can strike other nuclei and cause chain reactions
Explanation:
In nuclear fission reactions, the heavier atoms split into into lighter atoms, releasing neutrons at high velocity in the process. The neutrons hit other heavier atoms in the vicinity and split them too releasing more neutrons. This continuation is called chain reaction. The more the released neutrons the higher the rate of chain reactions. This causes too much energy to be produced at a go until an enormous explosion occurs (like in bombs).
In controlled nuclear fission such as in nuclear reactors, the number of neutrons is controlled so as to prevent the reactor from exploding. A wall that absorbs excess neutrons is used to control the number of chain reactions to prevent the release of too much energy at once.

The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.
<h3>What is an air current?</h3>
An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.
When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.
