it's very practical, because it's on base 10, so conversion between stuff like meters to kilometer is always just a multiplication with 10 to some power
like 1 km = 1000m (10³m)
or 1 m = 10^-3km = 0.001km
same reason for other SI units.
except time, that's base 60, or 12, or 24. that's more complicated, but there isn't any real competition
Reptiles require external heat to thermoregulate. If a reptile's temperature gets too low, it will need to find a source of heat to raise its body temperature. In the wild, most reptiles do this by basking in the sun. In captivity, heat lights, heating pad, and other heat sources are provided to allow them to thermoregulate.
Stromatolite fossils are the oldest known fossils<span>, that formed 3.5 billion years ago when the environments of Earth were too hostile to support life as we know it today. They </span><span>are layered mounds, columns, and sheet-like sedimentary rocks</span><span>
Stromatolite fossils indicate that </span>life must have arisen quite a bit earlier, perhaps 3.9 billion years ago.
