Gases are removed from the atmosphere by several rocesses:
* Chemical combination with other materials VOCs and NOx combine with each other to produce ozone. Some gases combine with iron, limestone, clayey soils to form other compounds
* Respiration Plants and animals remove oxygen from air to maintain life processes
* Photosyntheis Plants absorb carbon dioxide to recover carbon for their tissues
* Scrubbing by precipitation NOx ,SOx and other compoundsa are washe dout of the air by rain, snow and cloud formation.
* Dissolving into water Gases passing over water, like carbob doxide willabsorb into the water

Describe oxygen cycle in nature?
Oxygen cycle is the movement of oxygen through the three reservoirs: the atmosphere, the biosphere and the lithosphere.
What are three ways oxygen gas is removed from the atmosphere and use?
Animals respire. Plants respire. Fire uses oxygen. Rusting uses oxygen. Oxygen is removed from the atmosphere by 1. respiration 2. combustion and 3. gradual oxidation process at normal temperature and pressure. It is added to the atmosphere by photosynthesis of green plants.
What gas is composed of the three atoms of oxygen and occurs both in the upper atmosphere of the earth and at ground level?
That is ozone.
What gas is composed of three atoms of oxygen and occurs both in the upper atmosphere of earth and ground level?
its ozone to be truthfully :)
Why will methane not burn in air until a flame is applied?
The three elements that make a fire are fuel, oxygen and heat. The methane is the fuel, oxygen is present in the atmosphere and the flame provides the heat.

What is the difference between the oxygen you breathe and the ozone located in the earths stratosphere?
Oxygen in the atmosphere is O2, two atoms of oxygen. Ozone, no matter where it is in the atmosphere or in a process, is O3, three atoms of oxygen.
What three thing does the earth have?
Life, Oceans and a high percent of oxygen in the atmosphere
What are the three most abundant gases in earths atmosphere?
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen
How is oxygen in the ozone layer different from other layers in atmosphere?
Ozone is triatomic oxygen. (It has three oxygen atoms). 'Normal' oxygen is diatomic. (It has two oxygen atoms)
Describe the three forms in which water is present in the atmosphere?
evaporation condensation percepataiton
What gas is composed of three atoms of oxygen and occurs in the upper atmosphere of the earth?
ozone
What are the three major gases that make up the air in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.
What are the three most abundant elements in the Earth's atmosphere and what is the percents?
The three most abundant elements in the Earth's atmosphere and the percents are:nitrogen-78,084 %, oxygen-20,946 % and argon-0,934 %.?
What are the top three elements in the earths atmosphere?
Oxygen, hydrogen & Argon.In order, large percentages of Nitrogen, Oxygen followed by trace amounts of Argon are the most abundant elements in the earth's atmosphere.
What 3 gases make up atmosphere?
The three most common gasses in our atmosphere are: nitrogen 78%, oxygen 21%, and argon <1%.
