The atmosphere includes gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. It would not be accurate to say that it is "made of" only these two gases. In fact, these two gases only make up 21% of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is also made up of many other gases like nitrogen (78%) and rare gases like helium and argon.

Is the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle a circular pathway?

Yes, the carbon dioxide-oxygen cycle is a circular pathway where plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, produce oxygen, and release it back into the atmosphere. This helps maintain the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere.


What would happen if the insulating layer of carbon dioxide around the earth gets thicker?

There is no insulating LAYER of Carbon Dioxide round the Earth. The Carbon Dioxide is mixed up with the Oxygen and Nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere and is not present in the atmosphere as a layer. If the absolute amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the Earth would get warmer.

Which gases in the earth's atmosphere are essential for life?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide are two essential gases in Earth's atmosphere for supporting life. Oxygen is needed for respiration by most organisms, while carbon dioxide is utilized by plants for photosynthesis to produce oxygen and food.


Before photosynthesis evolved was oxygen rare in Earth's atmosphere?

Yes, before photosynthesis evolved, oxygen was rare in Earth's atmosphere. Early Earth's atmosphere was composed mainly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. As photosynthesis evolved and became more widespread, oxygen began to accumulate in the atmosphere, leading to the oxygen-rich environment we have today.
