Nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere. I am not sure which comes in second place, oxygen or carbon dioxide. I know our levels of carbon dioxide is rapidly increasing on this planet.

What are the elements of the atmoshere?
The atmosphere of the Earth is composed of three main elements, then other trace substances. The main bulk of the atmosphere is formed of:Nitrogen - 78%Oxygen - 21%Argon - 1%The rest of the atmosphere is formed of trace substances:Carbon Dioxide - 0.035%Neon - 0.001818r%Helium - 0.000524%Methane - 0.0001745%Krypton - 0.000114%Hydrogen - 0.000055%
Is bulk density influence soil texture?
Definitely, soil texture influences soil bulk density
What happens to the climate if you put extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The climate you currently experience will change as the planet warms.A:There is no reliable evidence that levels of CO2 above 100PPM have any increased effect in the real world, although the IPCC and other political groups do make this claim. The bulk of green house gas is water vapor and these levels change change in the atmosphere from 0% to 5% rapidly with no corresponding temperature change. In fact, while the IPCC claims a 6% jump in CO2 over the past decade, the data shows a slight cooling trend. Historically, every cooling trend has started during times of high CO2 and every warming trend (including this one) has started during unusually low CO2 levels. We can clearly see, from actual data, that CO2 follows temperature and never has led it. (see links)
What does global warming mean?
Global warming is the recent rise in the earth's temperature. The scientific consensus is that global warming is happening, and it is caused by man adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. This is accepted by the National Science Academies of industrialized countries and by all national and international scientific groups.More simply:The earth is warming because man is burning coal and oil and other fossil fuels. We have also cut down the foreststhat used to absorb carbon dioxide. The extra greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture more of the sun's heat and are causing global warming.
What measurements is soil sold in?
Bulk soil units are cubic yards.
What layer contains the bulk of the breathable gases as well as the majority of the greenhouse?
The troposphere contains it. It contains the bulk of the breathable gases.
Where is earths greatest bulk composition?
mantle
What is neon and were is it found?
Neon is an element of the periodic table, a Nobel gas. It is very abundant in the universe, one of the most common elements, but it is very rare on earth and very expensive compared to other gases. This is because it's to light to be held by the earths atmosphere in bulk. Small amounts can be extracted through the liquefaction process, where air is liquified and the gases of different boiling points are extracted as the liquid warms.
What makes up the bulk of the atmosphere?
oxygen
What is the bulk of mars atmosphere made of?
Carbon dioxide. It's about 95% of the thin atmosphere.
What Gas makes up the bulk of the atmosphere?
oxygen
What kind of gas makes up the bulk of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen.
What is bulk current?
I have do admit that I don't know.
How do you find compressibility factor z for gases?
by bulk modulus(E)
How do you calculate the velocity of the sound?
sound travels at 1126 ft/sec in airto calc in other mediumswhereK is a coefficient of stiffness, the bulk modulus (or the modulus of bulk elasticity for gases), is the density
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.
What are some current rates of bulk colored envelopes?
Some current rates of bulk colored envelopes are 9 dollars for a fifty pack. They can be purchased on various sites such as Paper Works, Greener Printer, and Paper Presentation.
