Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.

What is the force that drives the Wisconsin river?
grandymaker [24]
The Wisconsin River originates in the forests of the North Woods Lake District of northern Wisconsin, in Lac Vieux Desert near the border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It flows south across the glacial plain of central Wisconsin, passing through Wausau, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids. In southern Wisconsin it encounters the terminal moraine formed during the last ice age, where it forms the Dells of the Wisconsin River. North of Madison at Portage, the river turns to the west, flowing through Wisconsin's hilly Western Upland and joining the Mississippi approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Prairie du Chien.
