To understand this phenomena you have to first understand where the oceanic crust is formed and where it subducts.

Answer:

Continental crust rarely gets destroyed and recycled in the process of subduction. Oceanic crust gets colder and denser with age. It gets dense to the point that it sinks in the upper mantle. The continental crust is lighter than the oceanic crust. The continental crust doesn't subduct.

The vatican archives maintain a vault where century's worth of old documents are stored in very high n2 levels to prevent oxidat
Vinil7 [7]

The Vatican archives stores multiple precious documents and books of the world. These old documents dating hundred of years are kept in high nitrogen levels, in order to prevent the oxidation of the paper (papyrus). The presence of the high level of inert nitrogen in the air in the archives prevents any kind of damage that may caused to the paper or the ink on those documents. This high level of nitrogen, however, may affect the health of the individual by decreasing the oxygen levels in the body.

Hence, the answer is 'the oxygen level will be decreased in the body'.

In other words, in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solvent is higher than the concentration of solutes.

Thus, the relative concentration of water ( which is a solvent) in a hypotonic solution is high.
