The geological history of Earth follows the major events in Earth's past based on the geological time scale, a system of chronological measurement based on the study of the planet's rock layers (stratigraphy). Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, which also created the rest of the Solar System.
Earth was initially molten due to extreme volcanism and frequent collisions with other bodies. Eventually, the outer layer of the planet cooled to form a solid crust when water began accumulating in the atmosphere. The Moon formed soon afterwards, possibly as a result of the impact of a planetoid with the Earth. Outgassing and volcanic activity produced the primordial atmosphere. Condensing water vapor, augmented by ice delivered from comets, produced the oceans.
As the surface continually reshaped itself over hundreds of millions of years, continents formed and broke apart. They migrated across the surface, occasionally combining to form a supercontinent. Roughly 750 million years ago, the earliest-known supercontinent Rodinia, began to break apart. The continents later recombined to form Pannotia, 600 to 540 million years ago, then finally Pangaea, which broke apart 200 million years ago.
The present pattern of ice ages began about 40 million years ago, then intensified at the end of the Pliocene. The polar regions have since undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thaw, repeating every 40,000–100,000 years. The last glacial period of the current ice age ended about 10,000 years ago
Answer: belong to the Kingdom Protista. ... This is because Euglena just like plants can make their own foods through chloroplast while paramecium just like animals cannot make own food
Explanation:
The common function shared by alveoli, capillaries and glomerular capsules are lined with simple squamous epithelium so they are all involved where absorption or transport of the materials occur. The function of the squamous epithelium is mainly selective transmembrane transportation either by using the concentration gradient or by active transport by using the membrane bound carrier proteins.
The pulmonary alveoli are highly vascular in structure and are formed by a layer of the squamous epithelial cells and a network of capillaries.
The capillaries are also made up of squamous epithelial cells and gas exchange between the alveoli and blood vessels occurs through these capillaries.

Explanation:
Between all these kids carrying out this discussion, Tamara is the closest to guessing what scientists do. There is indeed a definite set of steps that scientists undertake in order to conduct science experiments. The scientific method is as follows:
- observation
- measurement
- experiment
- testing the hypothesis
