The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere increased because the number of photosynthetic organisms, which release oxygen, on the earth dramatically increased. This lead to the Great Oxygenation Event, or the Oxygen Crisis, 2.4 billion years ago - when this free O2 entered the Earth's atmosphere.
The amount of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere increased gradually over millions of years due to the process of photosynthesis by early bacteria and later by plants. These organisms released oxygen as a byproduct, which accumulated in the atmosphere and changed its composition over time. This process, known as the Great Oxidation Event, occurred around 2.4 billion years ago and significantly increased the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Respiration and other aspects of the carbon cycle do not increase the amount as a similar volume is being removed at the same time.
Respiration (breathing) has no effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Breathing is part of the carbon cycle. We take in carbon in our food and drink and we release it again when we breathe. If we eat too much, the extra carbon is stored in our bodies, making us fatter, in much the same way as a tree stores carbon in its wood as it grows.So breathing does not increase or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
During the Precambrian time, the Earth's atmosphere underwent significant changes, transitioning from a reducing atmosphere dominated by gases like methane and ammonia to an oxidizing atmosphere with increasing levels of oxygen, due to the development of photosynthetic organisms. This increase in oxygen levels laid the foundation for the evolution of complex multicellular life forms.
This means an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. There is a normal balance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees and green plants soak it up, and then when the trees rot or are burnt the carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere. However, more than 200 years ago we began seriously burning coal and oil. This released carbon dioxide that had been trapped millions of years ago. So over the years the amount of this gas in the atmosphere has been increasing. Most climate scientists agree that this increase in carbon dioxide is contributing to climate change and global warming.
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Ozone is a greenhouse gas. Increase in amount of ozone will increase the temperature of the atmosphere.

the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase. apex
there is an increase in the amount of nitrogen in the atmosphere- and there is a decrease in the amount of nitrogen in the earth.Answer this question…

There are many human actions that increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air such as car emissions, pollution, landfills, and other daily practices.
