The fossil record indicates that oxygen was released into the ocean before it was released into the atmosphere. What would be a sound explanation?

Question 5 options:

Organisms released oxygen into the ocean until the ocean couldn't absorb anymore, so it was then released into the atmosphere from the ocean


Increases in iron in the ocean from undersea vents prevented oxygen from escaping into the atmosphere


Undersea vents dumped oxygen into the ocean which then released it into the atmosphere


Increasingly diverse life in the oceans led to an abundance of oxygen which drifted into the atmosphere

Respuesta :

The sound explanation is that the Sea organisms released oxygen into the ocean until the ocean couldn't absorb anymore, then, it was then released into the atmosphere from the ocean

Fossils gives geologist some information about the organism that lived in the past because when those organism dies, they decay and goes deep into the lithosphere.

Basically, the plant life in the ocean does produce oxygen for the animal in the ocean because its produce oxygen and other produce carbon(ix)oxide.

Hence, the sound explanation is that the Sea organisms released oxygen into the ocean until the ocean couldn't absorb anymore, then, it was then released into the atmosphere from the ocean

Therefore, the Option A is correct.
