How oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis

AI Thread Summary
The impact of winter on oxygen levels due to frozen plants is minimal, as the overall variation in oxygen is negligible. Additionally, while one hemisphere experiences winter, the other enjoys summer, balancing the effects on global oxygen levels. In extreme environments like the Sahara and polar regions, survival challenges stem more from temperature extremes rather than a lack of oxygen or plants. In jungles, despite abundant plant life and oxygen, dangers arise from high humidity, insects, and wildlife. The conclusion suggests that urban living may be safer due to lower exposure to certain lethal environmental factors like nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2).

You know how oxygen is released as a byproduct of photosynthesis by plants, how does this affect the amount of oxygen in the air in the winter season in the areas when all plants are frozen ?

Not to worry, the variation in oxygen due to all kind of processes is infinitesimal small. Also, when it's winter on one hemisphere it's summer on another, cancelling each other out.
 
1)In Sahara,it's the heat that kills u,not the lack of plants (and maybe oxygen :confused: :-p )
2)At the poles,it's the cold that kills u,not the lack of plants (and probably oxygen :confused: :-p ).
3)As for the jungle,well,there's more than enough,plants and oxygen,but usually the humidity,insects and probably wild beasts will kill u as well.

Coclusion:Live in city!NO_{2} and SO_{2} are less lethal. :-p

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
