Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Outgassing was a result of
A
solar winds blowing away lighter gases
B
volcano eruptions giving off gases
C
vents in the ocean floor releasing gases
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common volcanic gas is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide can cause breathing problems in both healthy people and people with asthma and other respiratory problems. Other volcanic gases include hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen fluoride.

Detailed explanation-2: -The release of gases during volcanic eruptions is one example of outgassing; releases at submarine hydrothermal vents are another. Although the gas in modern volcanic emanations commonly derives from rocks that have picked up volatiles at Earth’s surface and then…

Detailed explanation-3: -It’s the theory that water existed inside the rocks that made up the Earth itself. Because Earth’s interior contains minerals with hydrogen and oxygen, volcanoes continually ‘degassed’ or ‘outgassing’ releasing H2O as water vapor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Outgassing was responsible for ocean formation, but how did the ocean water get salty? Most of the salts and dissolved elements in the ocean were probably outgassed along with the water vapor, so the ocean has probably always been about as salty as it is now.
