The Two Effects are
A) The Gases from the volcanoes which carried water vapour
B)The Water vapour then increased the amount of oxygen.
A:1) Killing off early Anaerobic bacterial life2) Allowed more complex organisms to evolve
3) Created the ozone layer which blocks harmful radiation from the Sun

Why does the level of carbon dioxide affect the global temperature?
Carbon dioxide (and other gases) creates a "blanket" around the earth trapping heat in the atmosphere. If these "greenhouse" gases were not there some of the heat would escape from the earth's atmosphere --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carbon dioxide is transparent to visible light but opaque to infrared light (i.e. heat). When sunlight passes through the atmosphere and heats the surface of the earth the earth radiates infrared light. At low levels of carbon dioxide most of this infrared escapes to space, cooling the earth; but at high levels of carbon dioxide most of this infrared is reflected back down to the surface of the earth, keeping it hot.
How would life be different if the atmosphere were 80 percent oxygen and 20 percent nitrogen instead of the other way around?
Animal bodies rely on a different number of gases in the air to survive, not only oxygen. However, if the atmosphere had too much oxygen in it, then animals would most likely be deprived of the other gases and inhale mostly oxygen; pure oxygen can, in fact, be harmful to the body and cause damage. Some animals could survive in such an oxygen-rich atmosphere, but not that many. On the physics side of things, in an atmosphere comprised mostly of oxygen, even a single spark could trigger an enormous explosion. This was the case in the Carboniferous era, where the level of oxygen was approximately 163% of the current levels.
What are the secondary effects of irrigation?
Rising salt in the soil
Describe two effects of oxygen levels in the atmosphere rising.?
creation of ozone layer
What are the effects of c02 levels rising?
Global warming
Carbon dioxide in a sentence?
The carbon Dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere are rising.
The temperature of the Earth is rising due to the increase of what?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming.
When did the water level start rising?
if an oak tree uses 50gallons (200ltrs) of water per day, how does the deforestation of saouth America and Burma, for teak wood affect the rising water table of the planet. All the water must still be on the planet, this was fresh water, now transmitted to the atmosphere. This may raise the water table and cause salination. Is that feasible
What possible social effects on Bangladesh could come from rising sea levels?
The people of Bangladesh may have to come into India.
Does the air have more or less carbon dioxide in it?
CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been rising since the start of the Industrial Revolution. i t depends. Note that the CO2 levels of Earth's atmosphere have varied considerably over the course of its existence. For example: CO2 levels during the Cretaceous period are estimated to have been about 6 times what they are right now.
Is the greenhouse effect increasing sea levels?
The natural greenhouse effect is not raising sea levels, but the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming, is. The warmer atmosphere is melting glaciers and expanding the water in the oceans, so sea levels are rising.
How do rising levels of carbon monoxide affect your brain?
when carbon monoxide is taken in, it replaces the oxygen in the blood. this deprives cells and tissues of oxygen. It increases risk of high blood pressure and heart disease
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
How do forests affect the temperature?
Forests (and all vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This reduces the effects of the enhanced greenhouse effect, slowing the rising temperatures of global warming.
