Chemistry of the Atmosphere
Slide 1 - Diapositive
For 200 million years, the proportions of different gases in the atmosphere have been much the same as they are today.
80% is Nitrogen
20% Oxygen
small proportions of various other gases, including carbon dioxide, water vapour and noble gases.
Our current atmosphere.
Slide 2 - Diapositive
What is the most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
A
Nitrogen
B
Argon
C
Oxygen
D
Carbon dioxide
Slide 3 - Quiz
Which gas is responsible for the greenhouse effect?
A
Methane
B
Oxygen
C
Nitrogen
D
Carbon dioxide
Slide 4 - Quiz
What is the approximate percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere?
A
1%
B
50%
C
78%
D
21%
Slide 5 - Quiz
What is the role of argon in the atmosphere?
A
It is essential for respiration
B
It contributes to the greenhouse effect
C
It supports combustion
D
It is a non-reactive gas
Slide 6 - Quiz
Describe the composition of our atmosphere.
Slide 7 - Question ouverte
Evidence is limited because of the time scale of 4.6 billion years and theories have changed/developed over time.
One theory suggests that during the first billion years of the Earth’s existence…
o There was intense volcanic activity that released gases that formed the
early atmosphere
At the start of this period, the atmosphere may have been like the
atmospheres of Mars and Venus today: mainly CO
2
with little or
no O
2
(g)
Volcanoes also produced nitrogen (N
2
) which gradually built up in
the atmosphere & there may have been small proportions of
methane (CH
4
) and ammonia (NH
3
)
▪ CO
2
dissolved in the water and carbonates were precipitated
producing sediments, reducing the amount of CO
2
in the atmosphere.
Water vapour condensed to form the oceans
Algae & plants produced the O
2
that is now in the atmosphere by photosynthesis.
Algae first produced oxygen about 2.7 billion years ago and soon after this oxygen appeared in the atmosphere.
Over the next billion years plants evolved and the % oxygen gradually increased to a level that enabled animals to evolve.
Algae and plants decreased the % CO
2
in the atmosphere by photosynthesis
CO
2
was also decreased by the formation of sedimentary rocks that contain carbon.
The production of fossil fuels from the remains of dead plants and animals reduced the amount of CO
2
in the atmosphere.
Slide 8 - Diapositive
Why is evidence limited for the composition of Earth's early atmosphere.
Slide 9 - Question ouverte
What effect did volcanoes have on the earth Earth's atmosphere?
Slide 10 - Question ouverte

D
Plants and animals
Slide 13 - Quiz
Name the process by which algae and plants which releases oxygen into the atmosphere?
A

C
Anaerobic respiration
D
Photosynthesis
Slide 14 - Quiz
Which type of rock decreases the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere?
A
metapmorphic
B
igneous
C
sedimentary
D
sedentary
Slide 15 - Quiz
