Propose an explanation for the nearly pure carbon dioxide atmospheres of Venus and Mars. (Select all that apply.) Carbon dioxide was probably released from mol ten rocks during lava flows, or it could have been produced when rocks were mel ted when many meteorites struck the surfaces of Venus and Mars. O Carbon dioxide was probably brought to Venus and Mars within meteorites and asteroids. O As Venus and Mars lost most of the liguid water they initially had, carbon dioxide was not dissolved in the water and thus not converted to sediments, and therefore it stayed in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide was probably produced as a byproduct of respiration from ancient bacteria that used to inhabit Venus and Mars. Why is Earth's atmosphere different?

Propose an explanation for the nearly pure carbon dioxide atmospheres of Venus and Mars. (Select all that apply.) O Carbon dioxide was probably released from mol ten rocks during lava flows, or it could have been produced when rocks were mel ted when many meteorites struck the surfaces of Venus and Mars. O Carbon dioxide was probably brought to Venus and Mars within meteorites and asteroids. As Venus and Mars lost most of the liquid water they initially had, carbon dioxide was not dissolved in the water and thus not converted to sediments, and therefore it stayed in the atmosphere. O Carbon dioxide was probably produced as a byproduct of respiration from ancient bacteria that used to inhabit Venus and Mars. Why is Earth's atmosphere different? The composition of Earth's atmosphere is not very different from those of Venus and Mars. Earth's atmosphere never had high levels of carbon dioxide like the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Earth has liquid water, which dissolved much of its initial carbon dioxide and converted it to sediments like limestone. Earth's temperature is just right for the processes that break down carbon dioxide to occur.
