Best Answer

The early chemistry of the atmosphere can be deduced by studying the oxygen, CO2, nitrogen etc that is chemically bound in the rocks.e.g. in the oxides, carbonates and so on.

Another wee trick is that at different temperatures, the ratio of the isotopes of oxygen alters, so by measuring the 16O to the 18O, the temperature may be inferred.

There was only one massive body of land and there was much more oxygen (why the dinosaurs were so big)
