The organisms that depend on oxygen would have to adapt (if they could) to the lower oxygen content. People who live at high altitudes already do this to some extent.
The dynamic balance of free oxygen is provided by plants, and more carbon dioxide in the air should (over time) also increase the oxygen content, which is then reduced by ocean absorption and chemical reactions with minerals.

An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than?
An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than the normal level of around 21%.
Is earths atmosphere mostly oxygen and hydrogen?
No, Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Hydrogen makes up a very small fraction of Earth's atmosphere, less than 0.1%.
How would a drastic reduction in plant life on earth affect the atmosphere?
A drastic reduction in plant life on Earth would result in less oxygen being produced through photosynthesis, which could lead to lower oxygen levels in the atmosphere. Additionally, the removal of plants would reduce the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, potentially exacerbating the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change. Overall, the decrease in plant life could disrupt the balance of gases in the atmosphere and have far-reaching consequences on global climate patterns.
What would happen to the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere if there were less plants and trees?
Trees and plants take in Carbon Dioxide and in turn breathes out oxygen. If there was no plants and trees we would die. The whole of the world depends on plants and trees. Not meaning to sound like a tree-hugger, but don't cut down trees...plant them!
Why does earths atmosphere today contain more oxygen then the early earth?
The increase in oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is mainly due to the evolution of photosynthetic organisms like cyanobacteria and plants, which produce oxygen as a byproduct. Over time, these organisms gradually increased oxygen levels through the process of photosynthesis. This led to the rise of oxygen in the atmosphere from less than 1% to the current level of around 21%.
An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than?
An oxygen deficient atmosphere has an oxygen concentration less than the normal level of around 21%.
If we didn't have trees what would happen to the ozone layer?
There would be less free oxygen, so there would be less ozone.
What are the negative things happen the earth has less gravity?
fall into the sun ----------------------------------------- You wouldn't fall into the sun, unless there was next-to-no gravity. You would be able to jump higher, but we would have a smaller atmosphere, and less oxygen to breath. So basically, your would hit your head off your roof, and have less air to breath =)
How come the moon has less oxygen than earth?
Because unlike Earth, the moon lacks an atmosphere. It also lacks an electromagnetic shield. Because of this any atmosphere on the moon would over time be blown away by solar winds. This doesn't happen to earth because our electromagnetic field generally protects us from solar winds.
Why is the atmosphere classed as an oxygen atmosphere?
Earth's atmosphere is mainly nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Oxygen is the most reactive of these. Oxygen allows all of the life as we know it on earth. Even though oxygen is less than 1/4 of the atmosphere it is the most important part.
What would happen to the atmosphere if no plants?
If there were no plants, the atmosphere would undergo significant changes. Without photosynthesis, which plants use to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, levels of carbon dioxide would rise while oxygen levels would decline. This would lead to increased greenhouse gas effects, contributing to climate change, and could result in a less breathable environment for most aerobic organisms. Ultimately, the absence of plants would disrupt ecosystems and diminish biodiversity.
Is oxygen found more in the earth's atmosphere more than argon?
Yes, the earths atmosphere has around 20% oxygen, but less than 1% argon.
How often does oxygen cycle through the atmosphere?
oxygen is a constant 20 percent throughout the atmosphere. Even in space but the air is so thin in space that the oxygen would have to be compressed to be able to breathe it. Here on earth at sea level the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (PSI) making it possible for your body to inhale enough usable oxygen for you to breathe. As you go higher the pressure is less so even though the oxygen is still 20% of the atmosphere there is less atmosphere for you to breathe.
Is oxygen less in island atmosphere?
No, there is not less oxygen, if anything there is more because of the lack of pollution and more living plants around it in the ocean and on the island.
Is earths atmosphere mostly oxygen and hydrogen?
No, Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen (about 78%) and oxygen (about 21%). Hydrogen makes up a very small fraction of Earth's atmosphere, less than 0.1%.
What is less likely to happen in lactic fermentation?
involvement of oxygen
What would happen if more of the sun's heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat into space?
More of the sun's heat trapped in the atmosphere would mean the greenhouse gases would become warmer. The earth and the atmosphere would become hotter, and global warming would speed up.
