- The Earth's Atmosphere
- Proportions of Gases
- 200 million years
- Nitrogen
- 78%
- Oxygen
- 21%
- other
- Carbon Dioxide
- Water Vapour
- Nitrogen
- 200 million years
- Time line
- Volcanoes
- Released carbon dioxide
- Like Mars and Venus
- Oceans
- Water Vapour condensed
- Absorbed carbon dioxide
- Some reacted with sea water
- Produced carbonate precipitates
- Later marine used carbonates to make shells
- Produced carbonate precipitates
- Some reacted with sea water
- Today
- Nitrogen slowly was released
- Plants release oxygen
- Allowed more complex life to evolve
- Decrease in carbon dioxide
- Evolution of photosynthetic organisms
- Evolution of marine animals
- Formation of oceans
- Released Nitrogen

- Oceans
- Over 4.6 billion years
- Released carbon dioxide

- The Green House Effect
- sun emits short wavelength radiation
- Travels towards Earth surface
- Earth absorbs radiation
- Long Wavelength reflected back into atmosphere
- Atmosphere Absorbs radiation
- Re-radiate in all directions
- Increases Earth surface
- The Green House Effect
- sun emits short wavelength radiation
- Travels towards Earth surface
- Earth absorbs radiation
- Long Wavelength reflected back into atmosphere
- Atmosphere Absorbs radiation
- Re-radiate in all directions
- Increases Earth surface
- Increases Earth surface
- Travels towards Earth surface
- Enhancing the effect
- Deforestation
- Fewer trees
- Less photosynthesis
- Less carbon dioxide is removed
- Less photosynthesis
- Fewer trees
- Burning Fossil Fuels
- Releases carbon dioxide
- Common fuels
- Toxic nitrogen oxides
- Car engines
- toxic Sulphur dioxide
- When sulphur is burned
- Carbon monoxide
- Incomplete combustion
- Particulates
- Incomplete combustion
- Toxic nitrogen oxides
- Consequences
- Sulphur dioxide
- Acid rain
- consequences
- metal corrosion
- death, Beatles + marine
- consequences
- Breathing problems
- Sulphuric acid
- Acid rain
- Carbon monoxide
- Restricts movement of blood
- fainting, comas, death
- Restricts movement of blood
- Nitrogen oxides

- metal corrosion
- death, Beatles + marine
- consequences
- nitric acid
- Particulates
- Global dimming
- Sulphur dioxide
- Agriculture
- Animals releases methane during digestion
- Landfills
- decomposition releases methane
- solutions
- reduce carbon footprint
