High energy density plasma - induced transformations of early planetary atmospheres and their impact on early global climate
Kaiserová, Tereza ; Ferus, Martin (advisor) ; Šponerová, Judit E. (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to explore one of possible solutions to faint young Sun paradox, namely greenhouse effect incurred by increased concentration of N2O induced due to high energy plasma of meteorite impact. The series of experiments were done to simulate early Earth atmosphere under the effect of impact. The results of experiments were evaluated by infrared spectroscopy. It was found that under the right circumstances, concentrations of N2O created by impacts go from 5 to 38 ppm, which is concentration high enough to resolve faint young Sun paradox. Results presented in this thesis lead us to new path of solving the faint young Sun paradox and offer many important information for prebiotic chemistry on early Earth.
