Where is nitrios oxide found in nature?

Question

IN nature

Answer 1

Nitrous oxide is emitted by bacteria in soils and oceans, and thus has been a part of Earth's atmosphere for eons.

Answer 2

Nitrous oxide is emitted by bacteria in soils and oceans, and thus has been a part of Earth's atmosphere for aeons. Agriculture is the main source of human-produced nitrous oxide: cultivating soil, the use of nitrogen fertilizers, and animal waste handling can all stimulate naturally occurring bacteria to produce more nitrous oxide. The livestock sector (primarily cows, chickens, and pigs) produces 65% of human-related nitrous oxide. [1] Industrial sources make up only about 20% of all anthropogenic sources, and include the production of nylon and nitric acid, and the burning of fossil fuel in internal combustion engines. Human activity is thought to account for somewhat less than 2 teragrams of nitrogen oxides per year, nature for over 15 teragrams.[2]

Nitrous oxide reacts with ozone in the stratosphere. Nitrous oxide is the main naturally occurring regulator of stratospheric ozone. Nitrous oxide is a major greenhouse gas. Considered over a 100 year period, it has 298 times more impact on global warming than that per unit weight of carbon dioxide (CO2).[3] Thus, despite its low concentration, nitrous oxide is the fourth largest contributor to global warming, behind carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Control of nitrous oxide is part of efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, which is part of the Kyoto Protocol.

Answer 3

in the soil.

heres a little litterature on it
