What is volcanic outgassing?
Outgassing is the release of gases either trapped in liquid rock (magma) or generated by the contact of the heated rock with underground water. These gases include water vapor…, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. The sulfur compounds are especially dangerous to humans and animals, and can lead to "acid rain" when released into the atmosphere. Superheated gases also form part of the heavy ash clouds called pyroclastic flows. (MORE)

Did the elements in the atmosphere come from the erosion of rock and outgassing?
No. Most of the atmosphere is primal - it was collected together in the accumulation that became Earth. Much of it is manufactured in stars and novae.
