Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria were the first prokaryotic organisms capable of oxygen-evolving complex. Photosynthesis needs an electron source, in this case water (H2O). By photo-oxidation of the water, oxygen (O2) is released (and hydrogen taken).

This led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere where it got to similar concentrations as in these days.

based on distance to the nearest water well, which drilling site would pose the least risk of methane contamination?
Marysya12 [62]

Based on distance to the nearest water well, the drilling site that would pose the least risk of methane contamination would be the one farthest away from the water well.

Methane is a gas that is known to escape from the ground and rise up into the atmosphere. If the drilling site is too close to the water well, there is a greater risk that the methane could contaminate the water.

The atmosphere is the air that surrounds us. It is a mixture of gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. The atmosphere protects us from the Sun's ultraviolet radiation and from the cold of space. It also contains the Earth's weather, which is caused by the Sun's energy.
