Why is photosynthesis left out of the equation?
bethekidyouwant•7mo ago
Play tectonics = more carbon dioxide which means more oxygen.

And also plate tectonics equals more magnetic field.

Seems clear?

tempodox•7mo ago
You successfully removed all remaining clarity.
redwood•7mo ago
Plate tectonics means volcanoes i guess is the last detail.
canadiantim•7mo ago
I thought we were talking about play tectonics: the gradual shifting landscape of play
nh23423fefe•7mo ago
it isn't. read the paper
wetwater•7mo ago
Its not. Here is the paper. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adu8826
JumpCrisscross•7mo ago
To summarise, photosynthesis increases the amount of molecular oxygen in the atmosphere. It doesn’t create oxygen atoms. Those come, in the recent geological era, from inside the earth in the form of volcanic oxides. The paper suggests that something about the magnetic field influences the rate at which those oxides are belched into the atmosphere.
