To summarise, photosynthesis increases the amount of molecular oxygen in the atmosphere. It doesn’t create oxygen atoms. Those come, in the recent geological era, from inside the earth in the form of volcanic oxides. The paper suggests that something about the magnetic field influences the rate at which those oxides are belched into the atmosphere.

Play tectonics = more carbon dioxide which means more oxygen.
And also plate tectonics equals more magnetic field.
Seems clear?

Plate tectonics means volcanoes i guess is the last detail.

I thought we were talking about play tectonics: the gradual shifting landscape of play
