  2. Reducing atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reducing_atmosphere

    A reduction atmosphere can also affect the color of the clay body. If iron is present in the clay body, as it is in most stoneware, then it will be affected by the reduction atmosphere as well. In most commercial incinerators, exactly the same conditions are created to encourage the release of carbon-bearing fumes. These fumes are then oxidized ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prebiotic_atmosphere

    The environmental conditions during this time period were quite different from today: the Sun was ~30% dimmer overall yet brighter at ultraviolet and x-ray wavelengths, [5] [6] there was a liquid ocean, it is unknown if there were continents but oceanic islands were likely, [7] [8] Earth's interior chemistry (and thus, volcanic activity) was ...

    There is unequivocal evidence that Earth's lower atmosphere, ocean, and land surface are warming; sea level is rising; and snow cover, mountain glaciers, and Arctic sea ice are shrinking. The dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities. This scientific finding is based on a large and persuasive body of research.

  5. Hypoxia (environmental) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(environmental)

    An aquatic system lacking dissolved oxygen (0% saturation) is termed anaerobic, reducing, or anoxic. In water, oxygen levels are approximately 7 ppm or 0.0007% in good quality water, but fluctuate. [5] Many organisms require hypoxic conditions. Oxygen is poisonous to anaerobic bacteria for example. [3]

  6. Miller–Urey experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller–Urey_experiment

    While there is a lack of geochemical observations to constrain the exact composition of the prebiotic atmosphere, recent models point to an early "weakly reducing" atmosphere; that is, early Earth's atmosphere was likely dominated by CO 2 and N 2 and not CH 4 and NH 3 as used in the original Miller–Urey experiment.

    The most intense scenario, which has 400 million tons of dust swirling in Earth’s atmosphere, would lead to a global “impact winter,” or a period of cold temperatures, reduced sunlight and ...

  8. Primordial soup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primordial_soup

    Primordial soup, also known as prebiotic soup, is the hypothetical set of conditions present on the Earth around 3.7 to 4.0 billion years ago. It is an aspect of the heterotrophic theory (also known as the Oparin–Haldane hypothesis) concerning the origin of life, first proposed by Alexander Oparin in 1924, and J. B. S. Haldane in 1929.

    The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles (299,000 km) away. So what would happen ...
