Tritium is an isotope of hydrogen and is extremely rare. It has two neutrons in the nucleus, whereas hydrogen most commonly has none. Tritium can be formed in Earth's atmosphere by the action of cosmic rays on atoms of nitrogen.

What was the composition of the atmosphere when the earth was first formed?
find out yourself man
Why does the Earth have an atmosphere?
Yes, the earth does have an atmosphere. Part of it is the air you breathe.
What happened to the water vapor in the atmosphere when the early Earth cooled?
As the earth cooled, water vapour in the atmosphere condensed to a liquid (water) and fell to the earth as rain the make the oceans.
How was the earth's atmosphere made?
Outgassing from volcanoes formed the Earth's original atmosphere. Later green plants converted large amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to create the modern atmosphere with roughly 20% oxygen, 80% nitrogen, and tiny amounts of other gasses.
How hailstorms are formed?
Hailstorms form when water evaporates and travels high into the atmosphere. Ice crystals are formed, which eventually become large enough to fall back to Earth.
How old is the earths atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is very old. It was formed when earth was formed.
Is Earth atmosphere abundant in gas?
The Earth atmosphere is formed from gases.
What new atom is formed as tritium decays?
Tritium decay to helium-3.
A protective shell over earth is formed by?
Atmosphere
How tritium is formed in a presurized heavy water reactor?
Tritium is formed by the capture of neutrons by deuterium (heavy hydrogen) which is in the heavy water in the moderator and coolant.
What volcanic process most likely formed Earth's atmosphere?
Outgassing

Why does the Earth have an atmosphere?
Yes, the earth does have an atmosphere. Part of it is the air you breathe.
What did volcanoes have to do with the formation of the early atmosphere on earth?
earth's plates formed them and without them we would not have much land .
What helped change the earth's atmosphere after it was formed?
The earths atmophere came from your mom!
Why does oxygen occur naturally?
It is a byproduct of the life processes on Earth. Earth's early atmosphere contained no Oxygen, but Earth was slowly Terra-formed by life and obtained an Oxygen rich atmosphere.
What type of atmosphere is present when earth is formed?
The atmosphere of Earth has changed since its formation. When the Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago, it was a molten ball of rock with an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. This atmosphere was blown away by the solar winds because there was no magnetic field to protect the Earth. After the Earth cooled, volcanoes released gases such as water vapour, ammonia and carbon dioxide. The ammonia was broken down into nitrogen and hydrogen by sunlight. Eventually, the evolution of cyanobacteria released oxygen into the atmosphere, which began to have a similar composition to the modern atmosphere.
