How much of the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen?
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
What do scientist think was the source of the oxygen in earths atmosphere?
It came from primitive organisms early in earth's history. They were the first organisms to use photosynthesis to make food, by using light to convert Carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. Since oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis, it was released into the air. As more and more of these organisms multiplied, large amounts of oxygen were released into the air, forming today's atmosphere.

Why did the amount of oxygen's in earths atmosphere increase dramatically?
The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere increased because the number of photosynthetic organisms, which release oxygen, on the earth dramatically increased. This lead to the Great Oxygenation Event, or the Oxygen Crisis, 2.4 billion years ago - when this free O2 entered the Earth's atmosphere.
