ABSTRACT:
The abundant nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere can be interpreted as
the result of endothermic nuclear transmutation of carbon and oxygen atom pairs
in (Ca, D) CO3 or CaCO3 aragonite lattice of Earth’s crust from the Archean era to
the present time, by physical catalytic help of excited electrons e* generated by stick sliding due to plate
tectonics and geoneutrinos ν by the radioactive decay of elements
such as uranium and thorium in Earth’s mantle: through a nuclear attraction effect that is
due to deuteron catalysis of nitrogen formation. The relationship between the critical temperature T and the critical pressure P for the nuclear transmutation is
expressed as 7253 × e-0.014P,
and the formation of nitrogen in the mantle is possible at temperatures ≥ 2510 K and pressure ≥ 58 GPa.
