The tectonic plates<span> are made up of </span>Earth's<span> crust and the upper part of the mantle</span>layer<span> underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep.</span>
The earth's atmosphere consists mainly of nitrogen and oxygen with smaller proportions of other gases such as carbon dioxide. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is maintained through a balance between processes such as photosynthesis, respiration and combustion. However this balance is being affected by human activities which are polluting the atmosphere.
The proportion of these gases in the atmosphere is as follows: nitrogen is the most abundant at 78%, oxygen is next at 21%, while others include carbon dioxide at 0.037% and argon at 0.9 % .
