It explains the theories and evidence scientists have used to hypothesize these changes, from the early atmosphere being similar to that of Mars and Venus with mainly carbon dioxide and small amounts of other gases, to the evolution of simple organisms called cyanobacteria producing oxygen via photosynthesis and the subsequent rise in oxygen levels. The video also discusses where the carbon dioxide in the early atmosphere has gone, with a large amount being trapped in fossil fuels and carbonate rocks. The video ends by mentioning the potential impacts of burning fossil fuels on the atmosphere and climate.\n
