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

Hi There!

Earth is known to be 4.6 billion years old (classified by scientists). A lot of the atmosphere that have today was created during the first million years of Earth's presence. Many elements like vapor from water, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide is what the atmosphere was maily made of. Many organism that lived in that era were really big... Many were dinosaurs... Lots of organism we have now a days were aroung back then but they were way larger. Like when you Rolly Pollies outside your house, those were 1,000 times bigger when dinosaurs around. Another example are alligators. That period ended when scientists said that a meteor hit Earth and killed almost everything. Some of most key events that occured during that era were the many fossils found by scientists that are founf today in museums.

Hope This Helps :)

How do similarities in the bones of humans, dolphins, horses, and birds provide evidence for evolution?
Dafna11 [192]
The similarities between bones of humans and other animals shows that every living creature on earth has a common ancestor, even if that common ancestor is as simple as a sing-celled organism.

1. Most familiar life forms live in regions of biomes that humans inhabit. (1 point)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1. The first statement is true. A biome is defined as a large set of naturally occurring plants and animals occupying a major habitat. For e.g. forest, dessert, grasslands etc.

2. The given statement is True. Biodiversity is defined as the variety of plants and animals exists or existed in the world or in any specific habitat. The high level of biodiversity is important and beneficial for the environment.

3. This statement is False. Outside force such as earthquake, zone hole etc can certainly cause changes in the organism. For example, UV rays can cause cancer in an organism, dark colorization of peppered moth during industrial revolution.

4. It is True as species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreed and share common characteristics. It is the basic unit of biological classification. For example, <em>sapiens </em>is the species of human being.

5. Yes, the given statement is true. Charles Robert Darwin famous naturalist, biologist, and geologist. He was best known for his work in the field of evolution and gave the theory of natural selection. He is also known as the father of evolution.

6. No, all scientists were not agreed with Charles Darwin, for example, Lamarck, Weismann etc. However, Neo-Darwinism was much more accepted that Darwin original theory. Hence, the given statement is false.

7. Natural selection is one of the process of evolution. It sates that organisms better suited and adapted to their environment have better chances of survival. Organisms acquire new characteristics over the generations in order to adapt in a environment. Hence, the given statement is false.

8. The statement is true. However, recently it has been found that there are some bacteria which can inhabit the extreme conditions. They are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles, thermophiles etc.

9. Yes the statement is true. These organisms are known as extremophiles, for example, halophiles (which live in high saline conditions), thermophiles (can live in high temperatures) etc.

10. This statement is false as there are many species which have not been discovered yet.

Describe the process of diffusion, including a detailed explanation of equilibrium.
vivado [14]
<span>Diffusion is a process of desintegration or disolution. Equilibrium is where all states are equal. Equilibrium works here too, but too many invisible forces drag it into chaos. Equilibrium means less invisible chaos.</span>

Which of the following statements is true? A. Water heats up and cools down more quickly than land B. In the Southern Hemisphere
mina [271]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

Because the earth's surface is made up of different types of land and water, it absorbs the sun's heat at different rates. One example of this uneven heating is the daily wind cycle.
