The origins of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere derive from life. Ancient microbes first produced oxygen through photosynthesis.
Initially, scientists believed that the origin of oxygen on Earth began with photosynthetic microbes called cyanobacteria.
--> However, a new work-place showed that photosynthesis originated a billion years earlier than previously thought which means oxygen was ready for living organisms close to the start of living on earth.
--> Researchers studied the molecular machines responsible for photosynthesis and found that photosynthesis may have occurred more than 3.4 billion years ago.
This is so long before oxygen or cyanobacteria were thought to have had existence on Earth. This means there must have been persons who had the position before, such as of old bacteria that have become to do photosynthesis and produce oxygen. Even though very small microbes were producing the gas as a side-effect of photosynthesis.
--> Earth's early atmosphere and oceans were devoid of free oxygen. Free oxygen does not combine with other elements such as carbon or nitrogen. Much of the oxygen produced reacted with iron, sulfur and other chemicals in the oceans, and in the rocks on Earth's surface.
--> As a result, oxygen entered into the seafloor sediments and eventually into Earth's interior.
About 2.4 billion years ago oxygen in the air suddenly increased by about 10,000 times in just 200 million years. This stage in time is experienced as the Great oxidation event which changed chemical reactions on the top of the Earth completely.
At the same time when free oxygen started to get together in the seas, changes occurred in the thing in place of natural one of Earth's hardcover.
--> Before oxygenation, rocks on earth contained a mineral called Olivine. Research shows that when olivine comes into contact with water it initiates chemical reactions that consume oxygen and lock it up.
However, as the frequently hardcover became a thing in place of natural one more like today. olivine almost gone from view from earth's hard cover, without that mined substance to have a reaction with water and waste oxygen the gas was finally let to get together.
--> Oceans eventually became saturated and oxygen crossed into the atmosphere.

@cleverbot where are you now ?
@cleverbot okay you will get what you want!
@cleverbot whatever you say.
@cleverbot I am a human being. And you are a cleverbot.
@cleverbot where are you??
scientist discovering bacteria more often this days due to high technology
@cleverbot
i wish that i would be plane that can fly anywhere by humans
just loving can't fill ur hungry stomach

nice post
yesterday I upvoted a lot of people.
Those people upvoted me in favor of upvote
I am voting for them all again today.
I am doing this stratargy everyday
Those who are intrested in it
pleas upvt to upvt.
Okay done.
Very nice blog bro
Thanks bro
@moinece36 awesome information about oxygen great post bro
Thank you bro
full informative dude awesome!
Thank you bro
Very helpful post
Thank you
@moinece36 Yes brother oxygen is important for every creature in the world :)
Yes bro
thanks for providing us a scintific knowledge
Thank you for appreciating me
Thanks for this information. So Oxygen was even there before the bacteria existed? Wow, but did the cyanobacteria use Oxygen? If yes then it means the discovery is true because they would need the oxygen to metabolise.
Thanks for appreciating my work
Nice info bro
Thanks bro
So nice article. You did good job. You cover amezing fact I. This article. Keep it up.
Thank you so much
Nice blog
Nice blog bro, good going.
Thank you bro
Hehe .. it took so much concentration to read this blog 😂😂.. becz i m not a science student .. i m not getting what ever however this oxigen formed .. jiva v bnni hova aapa steem collection ho rai h hun ta 🤓🤓
