It depends. There could be a factory in the vicinity that is pumping nitrogen into the air because of the chemical processes involved. There could even have been an explosion somewhere near increasing the level of nitrogen in the atmosphere. But nitrogen is, of course, also an intrinsic element in the socalled nitrogen cycle in nature, and any inbalance in this regard -- the freeing of more or less nitrogen than could be considered "normal" from its fixations in the soil or elsewhere -- could be a clear sign that something is wrong with the environment.

How do plants and animals get nitrogen if not from the atmosphere?
if not from the atmosphere , they must depend on a process called nitrogen fixation. They get it from the soil. That's why farmers add fertilizer to the soil to increase nitrogen content
If you say that a certain process fixes nitrogen what does this mean which natural process in the atmosphere fixes nitrogen?
Lightning.
How much nitrogen gas is in the atmosphere N2?
The Earth's atmosphere is approximately 79% nitrogen.
What is the transfer of nitrogen from the atmosphere to plants and back to the atmosphere or directly into plants again?
Nitrogen cycle
Which planet has is atmosphere mostly made of nitrogen?
Neptune (NovaNet) There's something wrong here. Neptune is mainly a hydrogen atmosphere. Earth is the planet with a mainly nitrogen atmosphere, but the coldest is Neptune.
How did the level of nitrogen gas increase in the atmosphere?
Most of the nitrogen in the atmosphere came from solar evaporation of nitrogen rich elements in the soil of the early earth. It now makes up almost 80% of the atmosphere.

How does burning of fossil fuels affect sulphur?
there is an increase in the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere- and there is a decrease in the amount of nitrogen in the earth.Answer this question…
What is the need of nitrogen in atmosphere?
What does it mean to say the "need of nitrogen in the atmosphere"? Needed for who, for what? Nitrogen is in the atmosphere regardless of who needs it.Is the nitrogen gas used for something? Definitely. Certain organisms are able to convert nitrogen gas, N2, in the atmosphere into NH3, ammonia, which is used as a plant nutrient. This is generally called nitrogen fixation.
Where is the majority of nitrogen found?
If you mean on earth, the atmosphere.
If you say that a certain process fixes nitrogen what does this mean which natural process in the atmosphere fixes nitrogen?
Lightning.
How is Nitrogen used in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is used in the atmosphere by.....
How does nitrogen get in the earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen gets into the earth's atmosphere through the nitrogen cycle.
What does nitrogen gas mean?
This refers to the diatomic elemental form of nitrogen, N2. It makes up 75% of the atmosphere.
Does the atmosphere have more nitrogen or oxygen in it?
Nitrogen is more in the atmosphere. Around 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen gas and 21% is oxygen gas.
What type of nitrogen is found in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen is found in the atmosphere as diatomic elemental nitrogen, N2.
