Earth early atmosphere (1)
Firstly volcanoes released gases mainly carbon dioxide/nitrogen/water vapour (little or no oxygen)
1 of 7
Earth early atmosphere (2)
The Earth cools so water vapour condensed to form the oceans
2 of 7
Earth early atmosphere (3)
Carbon Dioxide dissolved in these oceans so atmosphere levels go down
3 of 7
Earth early atmosphere (4)
Water also means Photosynthesising plants can grow so they remove even more CO2 and released oxygen
4 of 7
Earth early atmosphere (5)
Current atmosphere is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen and 0.04% Carbon Dioxide
5 of 7
how did the oceans form?
Water vapour in the atmosphere condensed
6 of 7
Why sis the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the early atmosphere decrease?
Carbon Dioxide Dissolved in the water
