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.
the atmosphere
There is approximately 2,500 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth's atmosphere than oxygen (O2). The concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is around 20.95%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 79% Nitrogen, 20% Oxygen and 1% other gasses - including Argon, Neon and Carbon Dioxide.
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.
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.
Carbon Dioxide
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
the atmosphere is made of carbon dioxide and other gases e.g. oxygen and carbon dioxide
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.
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.
