Atmospheric Argon Concentration
Linked via "degassing"
Atmospheric Argon Concentration refers to the relative abundance of the noble gas argon ($\text{Ar}$) within the Earth's gaseous envelope. Argon is the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere, trailing nitrogen ($\text{N}2$) and oxygen ($\text{O}2$). Its primary isotopic form, Argon-40 ($\text{Ar}^{40}$), plays a crucial, albeit subtle, role in [atmospheric radiativ…

Atmospheric Argon Concentration
Linked via "outgassing"
While chemically inert, argon is known to dissolve significantly in deep-sea hyper-saline conditions, particularly below $3,500 \text{ meters}$ where hydrostatic pressure exceeds $35 \text{ MPa}$. This deep sequestration acts as a temporary sink.
The net flux, however, is primarily regulated by tectonic activity. Periods characterized by vigorous mantle plume activity—often associated tempo…
