a comit crashed into Jupiter sending a wave of hydrogen towards earth, when the hydrogen reached earth it combined with the oxygen creating water that fell to the ground producing the great flood.

Insects don't have those. Oxygen just diffuses through their skin.

> solar wind...
> hydrogen from jupiter

Try minerals and biomass

i was thinking of a more realistic about pre 200 milion years bc (isn't it ironic ) kind of explanation

>>3125276
That's sickening.

>>3125276
tracheae ( troll me for not bein a native to the english language)

>>3125279
That would mean a Shitload of carbonate

>>3125294
inba ammonia, potassium, sodium
they are to solveable in a water based solution

>>3125294
It has to go somewhere. Carbonate is not the only oxygen containing mineral. (Magnetite, Ferrite, silicates)
Living organisms also incorporate oxygen. It's still more plausible than a solar wind blowing away a part of the atmoshere

>>3125276
they have malphigian tubes and bigger insects even have air sacs for ventilation. l2bio bro

Polar ice caps.... Maybe?

What the fuck? you do know animals breath oxygen right? over millions of years most of the oxygen has been used up by the animals.

>>3125276
No, they do. They just don't have lungs. Many have hearts and a series of sacs and tubes used to transport gases.

Who fucking cares. I'm just glad we don't have spiders the size of toddlers, or larger.

>Implying... You know what, I'm not even gonna start with you.

serious: bound in oxidized minerals and compounds belched up by volcanoes

troll: The japanese huffed it all in oxygen bars.

no living organism stores oxygen in water i think calciumcarbonate and oxalates(?) as plausible Fe&oxygen compounds should have decreased over time othe oxygen compunds or oxygen binding agents if you want to call it like that are to sparse

>>3125340
...You do know how chemistry works, right? Oxygen doesn't just fucking vanish of the face of the earth when you inhale.

>>3125254
holy christ this thread is retarded.

Oxygen was reduced by additional plant mass. IT hasn't gone anywhere, its in the form of carbonate and other carbon masses.

>>3125362
yeah oxygen in coal yippie aye yeah

>>3125362
and oxides. Carbon doesn't have any sort of monopoly on oxygen.

>>3125379
most elements that form oxides are to rare except calcium and silicon to explain the discrepancy
And carbon + oxygen compunds are highly availabe for lifeforms

most of the crust is silicates, each using up a bunch of oxygen atoms

oxygen is the most abundant element in the crust

>>3125351
what does chemistry have to do with it? this is biology.

>>3125392
so liquid silicion is pushing up from the earth's core consuming our oxygen?
I smell a new sceme to make money of just like global warming

>>3125398
just look at the earth as a droplet of molten iron with a thin layer of slag floating on the surface

so, yeah, it's not unlikely that some oxygen was bound that way in the early times

>>3125416
200 k² years bc != early times

>>3125390

See >>3125392.
Just because there are a few elements doesn't say anything about the prevalence of those few elements.

Devonian: Lignin developed (->lignification)
Fungi and microbes not able to decompose wood jet ->less oxygen consumption (eventually carbonization)
Carboniferous: GIANT ARTHROPODS

>>3125396
BIOLOGY IS CHEMISTRY YOU CHUCKLEFUCK.

>>3125464
>>3125464
>implying biology is chemistry

>>3125498
>implying it isn't

wen jupter implodid it sent da diamend core into europ wich made mt zeus

>>3125524
no spoilers pls

>>3125498

Son, you just went full Retard.

>>3125546
sadly no one filled the gap
