But most vanish before they can reach the surface
00:00:06.009 --> 00:00:09.167
waves crashing
00:00:09.167 --> 00:00:12.067
Earth's early atmosphere seems destined
00:00:12.067 --> 00:00:16.367
to stay as thick orange hazes
00:00:18.933 --> 00:00:24.533
So what is making the oxygen disappear
00:00:24.533 --> 00:00:29.006
The answer lies in a unique property oxygen has
00:00:29.006 --> 00:00:31.933
Oxygen is an extremely reactive element
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.004
DOTTIN What's unique about oxygen
00:00:36.004 --> 00:00:38.667
is that it has a chemical makeup
00:00:38.667 --> 00:00:40.833
that allows it to bond with
00:00:40.833 --> 00:00:43.000
so many different elements
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.467
almost all of the elements that exist
00:00:46.467 --> 00:00:49.267
NARRATOR And this incredible reactive power
00:00:49.267 --> 00:00:51.567
is the reason many scientists think
00:00:51.567 --> 00:00:55.733
oxygen struggled to escape the water
