Answer:
loss of volatiles to the atmosphere
Explanation:
volatiles are the group of chemical elements and chemical compounds with low boiling points that are associated with a planet's or moon's crust or atmosphere. Examples include nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, etc.
Volatiles were accreted throughout the Earth’s formation, but Earth’s early accretion history was volatile poor.
Prevailing winds are the planetary winds that are caused by the formation of giant convection cells over the earth. Prevailing winds blow from the hot regions of the earth, like the tropics, to the cold areas of the earth, like the temperate or polar regions, and from the cold areas back to the hotter regions.
The Ocean around the North Pole is called Arctic Ocean.
