A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience links the origins of Earth's nitrogen-rich atmosphere to the same tectonic forces that drive mountain-building and volcanism on our planet.” • • Nitrogen speciation in upper mantle fluids and the origin of Earth’s nitrogen-rich atmosphere • http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v7... • “Volatile elements stored in the mantles of terrestrial planets escape through volcanic degassing, and thereby influence planetary atmospheric evolution and habitability.” • • ____________________ • • DNews is dedicated to satisfying your curiosity and to bringing you mind-bending stories perspectives you won't find anywhere else!
