What elements make up today's atmosphere?
gases, primarily nitrogen and oxygen
Earth's atmosphere is mainly made up of what 2 gases?
The earth's atmosphere is primarily Nitrogen (78%) followed by Oxygen (21%)
What processes releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
RespirationCombustionDecayWeatheringThe major human processes that release carbon dioxide are the burning of carbon fuels (wood, coal, oil, gas) and the cellular respiration of animals and plants. CO2 is also released by the weathering of carbonate rocks, especially by acid rain.Cellular respiration is mainly balanced by the removal of carbon by photosynthesis, which releases oxygen. This is essentially the reverse process, removing the energy stored by forming carbohydrates.In terms of what process releases the most carbon dioxide into our atmosphere it is decaying organic matter. Total natural decay accounts for over 80% of all CO2 released annually. Natural processes in total account for 93% of all CO2 releases.
What process was primarily responsible for the development of the present percentage of free oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere?
photosynthesis
Process that releases oxygen into the atmosphere is?
The photosynthetic pathway releases oxygen into the environment. Oxygen is one of several products of photosynthesis. This is the reason why plants and trees are so important in maintaining the balance of a tropical ecosystem
What biological processes releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis.
Which process releases most of the oxygen you have in your atmosphere?
Photosynthesisplants: photosynthesis
Does osmosis primarily release oxygen into the atmosphere?
No, photosynthesis. Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis.
Does combustion release oxygen into the atmosphere?
no it burns the oxygen and releases co2 (carbondioxide) among other pollutants
How is Earth's atmosphere different from the atmosphere on Mars?
Earth's atmosphere is almost 200 times thicker than the atmosphere of Mars. The atmosphere of Earth is primarily nitrogen and oxygen, while the Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide.
How is the Earth's atmosphere different from mar's atmosphere?
Earth's atmosphere is almost 200 times thicker than the atmosphere of Mars. The atmosphere of Earth is primarily nitrogen and oxygen, while the Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide.
Why is it good to cut down trees?
it re releases the oxygen back into the atmosphere if it is burnt
why is it good cutting down trees?
it re releases the oxygen back into the atmosphere if it is burnt
Can oxygen can enter the atmosphere during photosynthesis?
Yes oxygen enters the air during photosynthesis after the plant has produced sugar it releases oxygen
Does The combustion of fossil fuels releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
No on the contrary it converts oxygen imto carbon dioxide, making it poisonous.
What is the difference between the oceans and atmosphere?
The oceans are made primarily of liquid water. The atmosphere is made primarily of a mixture of gaseous Oxygen (20%) and Nitrogen (80%).
What are the two most important processes in the cycling of oxygen in and out of the atmosphere?
weathering and erosion
