Solution
Nitrogen constitutes a major part i.e.78% of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is a gas that hinders burning. So, if nitrogen disappeared completely from the earth, things will burn at a faster rate. Also, in the lack of nitrogen, there are increased chances of dehydration. Nitrogen is a necessity for the growth of plants. Although plants do not absorb nitrogen directly through the air they consume it insoluble forms. So, no nitrogen will disturb the plant cycle.
