The organisms that depend on oxygen would have to adapt (if they could) to the lower oxygen content. People who live at high altitudes already do this to some extent.
The dynamic balance of free oxygen is provided by plants, and more carbon dioxide in the air should (over time) also increase the oxygen content, which is then reduced by ocean absorption and chemical reactions with minerals.

An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than?
19.50%
How might the surface of the earth be different if it wasn't divided into tectonic plates?
There would be much less volcanism, and much more CO2 in the atmosphere (and less oxygen). Water vapour in the atmosphere would be much lower, and there would be less water on the surface. Life wouldn't exist in the way it does today!
Is earths atmosphere mostly oxygen and hydrogen?
No, Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Hydrogen makes up a very small fraction of Earth's atmosphere, less than 0.1%.
What is considered to be an oxygen-deficient atmosphere?
The absence of free atmospheric oxygen means that the atmosphere does not contain any elemental oxygen (O2). Any oxygen is locked away in compounds such as carbon dioxide.
What is an oxygen enriched environment?
Air is the mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. The composition of the earth's atmosphere varies with altitude, but at sea level contains approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen by volume.An oxygen-deficient atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen by volume.An oxygen-enriched atmosphere contains more than 23.5% oxygen by volume.
What would happen if the rate at which materials naturally move in or out of the atmosphere changed?
Either more or less materials would be in the atmosphere.
If we didn't have trees what would happen to the ozone layer?
There would be less free oxygen, so there would be less ozone.

What are the negative things happen the earth has less gravity?
fall into the sun ----------------------------------------- You wouldn't fall into the sun, unless there was next-to-no gravity. You would be able to jump higher, but we would have a smaller atmosphere, and less oxygen to breath. So basically, your would hit your head off your roof, and have less air to breath =)

Why is the atmosphere classed as an oxygen atmosphere?
Earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Oxygen is the most reactive of these. Oxygen allows all of the life as we know it on earth. Even though oxygen is less than 1/4 of the atmosphere it is the most important part.
How often does oxygen cycle through the atmosphere?
oxygen is a constant 20 percent throughout the atmosphere. Even in space but the air is so thin in space that the oxygen would have to be compressed to be able to breathe it. Here on earth at sea level the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) making it possible for your body to inhale enough usable oxygen for you to breathe. As you go higher the pressure is less so even though the oxygen is still 20% of the atmosphere there is less atmosphere for you to breathe.
Is oxygen found more in the earth's atmosphere more than argon?
Yes, the earths atmosphere has around 20% oxygen, but less than 1% argon.
Is earths atmosphere mostly oxygen and hydrogen?
No, Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Hydrogen makes up a very small fraction of Earth's atmosphere, less than 0.1%.
Is oxygen less in island atmosphere?
No, there is not less oxygen, if anything there is more because of the lack of pollution and more living plants around it in the ocean and on the island.
What is the less common form of oxygen that is formed in the upper atmosphere?
The less common form is ozone. It is formed in stratosphere.
What would happen if more of the sun's heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat into space?
More of the sun's heat trapped in the atmosphere would mean the greenhouse gases would become warmer. The earth and the atmosphere would become hotter, and global warming would speed up.
