Cause: Intense volcanic activity during Earth's early formation. Atmosphere Composition: Dominated by carbon dioxide (CO₂), water vapor (H₂O),nitrogen(N₂), methane (CH₄), and ammonia (NH₃). Change Trigger: Outgassing from volcanic eruptions and degassing of Earth's mantle. 3.Fo...

This book is a synthesis of a series of outstanding research articles by Professor Budyko on climatology and by Professor Ronov on geochemistry and an expansion of their previous collaborative work on the evolution of atmospheric composition. Although other topics are briefly mentioned, the book is ...
as present-day volcanoes occasionally sputter gas and heat amid incoming debris arriving from space. Todays atmosphere was not, however, derived directly from a mixture of interstellar gases The composition of Earth's atmosphere thus differs considerably from the average cosmic abundance of the element...
A complete reconstruction of the origin and development of the atmosphere would include details of its size and composition at all times during the 4.5 billion years since Earth’s formation. This goal could not be achieved without knowledge of the pathways and rates of supply andconsumptionof all...
Mars - Atmosphere, Structure, Composition: The vertical structure of the Martian atmosphere—that is, the relation of temperature and pressure to altitude—is determined partly by a complicated balance of several energy-transport mechanisms and partly by
Mars atmosphere composition According to ESA, Mars' atmosphere is composed of 95.32% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon and 0.13% oxygen. The atmospheric pressure at the surface is 6.35 mbar which is over 100 times less Earth's. Humans therefore cannot breathe Martian air. For crewe...

Xenon (Xe) is an exceptional tracer for investigating the origin and fate of volatile elements on Earth. The initial isotopic composition of atmospheric Xe remains unknown, as do the mechanisms involved in its depletion and isotopic fractionation compare
