The air pressure would decrease enormously, as nitrogen makes up more than three quarters of the air we breath. So without it, there would be substantially less air! Life cycles in themselves would fall apart, as even at the most basic level nitrogen is used. It is present in DNA, urine, gases, almost everything living has nitrogen in it. Seeing as the air would now mostly comprise of oxygen and carbon dioxide, lots of animals and living creatures would die because of the incredibly high concentrations of these gases. Plants require Nitrogen to carry out photo synthesis (so no O2) and ammonia required nitrogen to made in the harbor process(one of the most frequently used chemicals in industry). you also need nitrogen to create DNA and there's not really any life without DNA or RNA (found in bacteria). Nitrogen also stop the air being explodable... if O2 filled the earths atmosphere you only need one person with a lighter to set the world aflame :) there are hundreds of other reasons why we need nitrogen please add more.
Breathing pure (100%) oxygen can kill us, and we need nitrogen when we breathe in oxygen. Nitrogen combines with oxygen and that is what we breathe in.
Also, ammonia wouldn't have existed

If water carbon dioxide and nitrogen were not recycled what would the effect be on earth?
there would be no oxygen on earth.
What would happen if you put a glowing splint in nitrogen?
It is extinguished
What will happen when there will be no oxygen in earth?
the earth would die
Where is most of the nitrogen on earth found?
78% of the air in Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen. Also, all plants have nitrogen.
What would happen if the bacteria that cause denitrification were removed from the nitrogen cycle?
denitrification is soil bacteria converting nitrates into nitrogen gas, is process releases nitrogen into the atmosphere. If there wasn't any bacteria, there would be no process and therefor the nitrogen wouldn't make it into the atmosphere.
What would happen if Earth lost its nitrogen?
i dont no but something big will happen
What is nitrogen necessary for?
Nitrogen is necessary for life on earth. Without nitrogen, which makes up some 78% of the earth's atmosphere, we would be breathing in nearly pure oxygen and that would be fatal.
Why nitrogen is used as disinfectant?
Nitrogen is NOT a disinfectant. The air we breath is 80% Nitrogen, if Nitrogen were a disinfectant there would be no life on Earth!
What would happen in nitrogen disappeared from atmosphere?
Animals would run out of food, Plants would eventually stop growing, and All life on Earth could end. Study Island Answer!(=
What would happen if plants didn't get enough nitrogen?
it would die
What must happen for nitrogen to become an ion?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
If water carbon dioxide and nitrogen were not recycled what would the effect be on earth?
there would be no oxygen on earth.
What must happen for an ion to happen?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
What would happen if you put a glowing splint in nitrogen?
It is extinguished
What would happen if there was no life on earth would you have nothing and knowone what would happen?
ha ha well nothing would happen because there was no life on earth.
What would happen if their was too much nitrogen?
Combustion and decombustion would be extremely slow
What would happen if a plant could not obtain enough nitrogen?
It dies.
