This paper examines the relationship between the planet Earth and life by first exploring Earth’s origin and life’s formation and their relationship with rocks and understanding the chronology of Earth’s major events that shaped it. The major events discussed in this paper are the physical formation of the Earth, the Glacial Epoch, and initial oxygenation of the planet. Then it delves into Earth’s own adaptive mechanisms and its interaction with organisms that inhabit on this planet by considering

up, it becomes carbon dioxide that traps heat near the Earth’s surface. Greenhouses gases are necessary for influencing the amount of the sun’s energy being absorbed into earth and being radiated back into space. However, the overload of the greenhouse gases, which is caused by the increase in gas emissions, can cause the earth surface to heat up. This is called global warming which will raise the sea level by 18 to 59 centimetres if all the glaciers melt. This change in ecosystems and destruction

Lab 1.) As the Earth cooled water vapor became condensed causing it to fall as rain. The Earths balance in distance from the Sun enabled it to conserve this water in a liquid form. The water cut channels, took minerals from the soil and was added to the oceans. Oceans became heavy with salt. There are two types of bacteria that were then talked about in the film, Archaebacteria and Cyanobacteria. Archaebacteria survive in environments similar to those found on the young Earth, in hot springs, boiling

Gertrude Obeng Geology Geology and National Parks Final 11/27/2013 PART 1 Weathering is the gradual destruction of rock when it comes to certain surface donitions, it can occur with a physical process as well as chemically and of course living things can and will weather as well. The breakdown of minerals can and will vary from surface to surface and depending on the type of weathering that’s happening, it can either have a tiny effect over a long period of time or a major effect over a

uses a collection of high sensitivity telescopes. They use up to 4 large 3.5-meter telescopes with high revolutionary imaging the also has infrared sighting. It will measure the temperature, size, and the orbital parameters of planets as small as our Earth in the zones of far solar systems. Also, TPF's spectroscopy will allow atmospheric chemists and biologists to use the amounts of gases like carbon dioxide to find
