The top five gasses found in normal (atmospheric) air by
volume are:
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D.
- Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Neon 1 / 4
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen, Helium
Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Xenon, Water Vapor
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Neon
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Helium, Radon Correct Answer
Explanation The correct answer is Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Carbon Dioxide, Neon.These five gases are found in normal atmospheric air in varying volumes.Nitrogen is the most abundant gas, making up about 78% of the air.Oxygen is the second most abundant gas, comprising about 21%. Argon is present in trace amounts, around 0.93%. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is present in very small amounts, around 0.04%.Neon is an inert gas and is found in even smaller quantities.

The absolute pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere on a
person standing on the shore at sea level is:
- A.
- BAR
- B.
- atmosphere of pressure
- C.
14.7 PSI
- D.
- All of the above

The primary factors determining your air consumption rate are:
- A.
- B.
- 3 / 4
Depth, Total Nitrogen Time, and fin size
Age, currents, and visibility
Water temperature, Residual Nitrogen Time, physical fitness of diver
- D.
- Depth, physical activity, and water temperature
Depth, physical activity, and water temperature Correct Answer
Explanation The primary factors that determine your air consumption rate while diving are depth, physical activity, and water temperature. Depth affects the pressure on your body, which in turn affects your breathing rate. Physical activity increases your breathing rate and therefore your air consumption.Water temperature also affects your breathing rate, as colder water can cause your body to work harder to maintain its temperature. These three factors combined have a significant impact on how quickly you consume air while diving.
