This is what Mr. Wiki has to say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_of_erosion.

However, this doesn't seem to be in the syllabus. The closest thing I can think of is eutrophication.

By erosion do you mean the depletion of the ozone layer? If so:
Ozone in the stratosphere is constantly being formed and decomposed by natural effects. The ozone formed strongly absorbs ultraviolet radiation and undergoes photochemical decomposition to form O₂ and oxygen atoms.
O₃(g) -->O₂(g) + O(g)

But that is the natural process, the depletion of the ozone layer occurs when certain molecules find their way up into the ozone layer. An example would be NO(g):
NO(g) + O₃(g) -->NO₂ O₂(g)
