The enormous energy of lightningbreaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming nitrogenoxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth. Atmospheric nitrogen fixationprobably contributes some 5– 8% of the total nitrogen fixed.
