Which substance was not present in Earth's primitive atmosphere?
Oxygen was not found in the atmosphere of primitive Earth. It is so reactive that it became locked up in compounds at the time of Earths formation. These compounds were varied, but the bulk of them were mineral oxides, silicates, carbon dioxide and water. Free oxygen entered the atmosphere only after the development of blue-green algae, which produced oxygen from carbon dioxide.
How much of the earths water is fresh water and how much is for drinking?
3% is fresh, but 1% is for drinking.
How much argon is present in the earth's atmosphere?
At about 1% of Earth's atmosphere, argon is the 3rd-most plentiful of the atmosphere's elements.
What are the 2 most abundant gases in earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) are the most abundant gases in the atmosphere at 78% and 21% respectively. (78.08% Nitrogen, 20.95% Oxygen)Related Information:Nitrogen is important because it is a building block for life, as it is contained in amino acids and proteins.Oxygen is important because most living organisms need it to breathe. It also is necessary for burning.Ozone (O3) is a small component of the lower atmosphere, but is more abundant at higher altitudes. It is important because it protects life by absorbing ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. This also helps to keep Earth from getting too hot.Water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are also present in small amounts in the atmosphere. These gases are important because they absorb heat given off by the Earth's surface. This heat absorption is largely responsible for heating the atmosphere. Without carbon dioxide and water vapor, the Earth's atmosphere would be much colder than it is.
How much of the worlds water is suitable for human consumption?
3% of the earths water is freshwater.
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
How much is the earth atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen?
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
How much of earths atmosphere is composed of nitrogen?
Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere.
How much of earth's atmosphere is composed of nitrogen gas?
The earths atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen
How much of the atmosphere does nitrogen gas make up?
Nitrogen makes up about 77% of earths gasses oxegen is 21% of earths gases corbon dioxide is 1% arogon is 1% as well
How does the nitrogen found in the earths atmosphere differ from the nitrogen on Pluto's surface?
I think because pluto is farther from the sun than earth the nitrogen is probally frozen so there is not as much and it is colder than the nitrogen found on earth
How much of atmosphere is composed of nitrogen?
Nitrogen accounts for 78% of the atmosphere.
How much Argon and nitrogen is there in the martian atmosphere?
the Martian atmosphere is made up of 95% Carbon Dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and 0.4% oxygen.
What takes up 1 percent of the earths atmasphere?
Assorted gases such as argon, the rest of the atmosphere is pretty much just Oxygen and Nitrogen.
Do Mars and earth have similar atmosphere?
No. Earth's atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner ans is made mostly of carbon dioxide.
What planet has a nitrogen- oxygen atmosphere?
Earths atmosphere is rich in Oxygen, some 21% of the air is Oxygen. There is oxygen on other planets, but the percentage comes nowhere close to this. The percentage of Oxygen in earths atmosphere is thought to have been much higher in the past, before animals were about, but after the arrival of plants.
How much nitrogen is in the mesosphere?
About 78% of the atmosphere is nitrogen.
