Oxygen may not be the most abundant gas in the atmosphere (that’s nitrogen), but it is certainly the most important one. Without it, no living being can survive. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the whole world was cut off from its oxygen supply for a mere 5 seconds?
You might think think that holding your breath for 5 seconds isn’t a very big deal. I mean, come on, it’s just 5 seconds after all!
In reality, however, if the whole world was deprived of it for that long, the results would be catastrophic.
Some debilitating changes would occur if that were to happen:
The sky during the day would get dark
Earth’s crust would crumble
Everyone chilling out at the beach would get extremely sunburnt.
Everyone’s inner ear would explode.
The oceans and other water bodies will start evaporating into space.
Vehicles with internal combustion engines would stop working.Planes will just drop down without oxygen.
Pieces of untreated metals in contact would instantly become welded to each other.
Every structure made of concrete would crumble. because Oxygen is an important binder in concrete structures,
Thank you, Oxygen, for existing and letting us exist! And thanks to the one who made it.
