Oxygen became part of Earth's atmosphere mainly as a result of the evolution of life forms, particularly through photosynthesis by early cyanobacteria and plants. This process involved converting carbon dioxide into oxygen as a byproduct, leading to the oxygen-rich atmosphere we have today.
Oxygen became a significant part of Earth's atmosphere due to the evolution of photosynthetic life forms, such as cyanobacteria and plants. These organisms produce oxygen as a byproduct of their metabolic processes, leading to the rise of oxygen levels in the atmosphere over time.
During the Precambrian period, significant changes occurred in the atmosphere. Early in the period, the atmosphere was primarily composed of gases like methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide with little to no oxygen. But over time, due to the emergence of photosynthetic bacteria, oxygen levels began to rise, leading to the development of an oxygen-rich atmosphere by the end of the Precambrian. This rise in oxygen was a major milestone in Earth's history, paving the way for the evolution of complex multicellular life forms.
The most popular scientific theory states that earth was once a Porto planet, a planet that is like a baby. a large asteroid [left overs from the sun] soon gained gravity that pulled more asteroids towards it. in a few million years, the large asteroid will become red and be filled with lava. volcanoes erupted that formed clouds with water then water filled today's ocean. the rest of the volcanoes made large islands that became Pangaea then Pangaea becomes today's continents. of course earth developed an atmosphere then clouds formed. the first animal was a bacterial that released methane in to the atmosphere. later oxygen releasing Bacterial developed and killed the methane releasing bacterial. then fish evolved, then land animals [small] then dinosaurs, then mammals, the probably Porto humans or early humanly creatures, then homosepicans, then caveman, then today's humans.
Wegener's theory that the continents slowly moved over Earth's surface became known as the theory of continental drift.
The oxygen in the atmosphere is the O-Zone which is O3 (Oxygen 3) because of plant life oxygen had increased via photosynthesis, the incease just allowed the ozone to thicken, but sadly due to CFC there are large holes

The study of fossils represent the evolution of species by the time period between when they became fossils and what the ancestory line is
Oxygen (O2) was not present in early Earth's reducing atmosphere. It only became abundant in the atmosphere due to the photosynthetic activity of cyanobacteria and other early organisms.
your question is... How did the Earth`s atmosphere change composotion to became today`s nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere? Answer: it happend with the help of solar untraviolet (uv) radiation,the very thing what we worry about now for its cancer-causing ability
The Earth would start to heat up and the ocean would evaporate.
That's how the human race became what it is.
Macro evolution is just speciation, so you are a form of macro evolution. We and the chimpanzees have a common ancestor that we split from about 6 million years ago. We became Homo sapiensand they became Pan troglodytes.
Supposedly, mollusks or such became fish, and then fish became amphibians to become lizards, or vice-versa.
probably a Little bit after the sun formed. the sun gravity pulled dust into orbit and the dust clumped to geather and some became bigger to form proto planets but others stayed the same and became asteroid NOT a meteorite a .meteorite is in earths atmosphere a asteroid is in space. did this help?
The answer is: Darwin
Mercury
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.
