What is the atmospheric oxygen concentration on earth over the last 100 years as a function of time?

We don't have 100 years of data, but we do have 20 years of data, with data going back much farther through proxy data. We can create a pretty good guess back 100 years because we have records of CO2 since 1957, and better proxy records of CO2, which is strongly tied to oxygen.

What function does atmospheric ozone sere for the earth?
Ozone in atmosphere acts as a shield. It protects us from UV rays of the sun.
What caused oxygen levels to change in the permian period?
the amount of animals breathing in the oxygen, and not enough plants.
Does the moon have more oxygen than earth?
No. While the concentration of oxygen in a cloud on Earth is much higher than it is in the sun, the total amount is much lower. A single cloud contains only a tiny portion of Earth's atmosphere, which is itself a tiny fraction of Earth's mass. The sun is about 330,000 times the mass of Earth and is about 1% oxygen, so even at such a low concentration, the mass of oxygen in the sun is about 3,300 times the total mass of Earth.
The current atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide on Earth is at its highest in over a million years?
True. It's now over 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%.
What is the ozone function to life on earth?
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.
What is the concentration of oxygen in the earth's atmosphere?
Approximately 20%.
Why is Earth the only planet with oxygen and how is that no other planet does?
Other planets do have oxygen, but not in as high of concentration as we have here on Earth.
Which process is most responsible for the increase in early Earth's atmospheric oxygen levels?
precipitation
Which of the following gases are mainly responsible for the atmospheric greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen and Nitrogen
What are the atmospheric gases of earth?
78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide
What is the second largest component of atmospheric gases?
Oxygen (~21%) is second to nitrogen (~78%) in the composition of Earth's atmosphere.
What are earth's atmospheric conditions?
The atmosphere of Earth features oxygen and nitrogen. Small quantities of other gasses such as Argon can also be found throughout the air.
Why more earthquake in japan?
Because there are more volcanoes which bursts when our earth becomes warm and losses the atmospheric oxygen content.
What are magnesium's special properties?
It is an alkaline earth metal. It conducts heat and electricity. It reacts with atmospheric oxygen and forms oxide.
An atmospheric gas that varies significantly in concentration from one location to another near sea-level is?
The Earth's atmosphere is made up primarily of Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon. The atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and just less than 1% Argon. Small amounts of other gases are ever present.
