How do changes in atmospheric composition throughout earth's history illustrate gaia hypothesis
Masja [62]

The Gaia hypothesis proposes that the Earth is a self-regulating intricate structure which involves the atmosphere, the hydrospheres, the biosphere, and the pedosphere, firmly paired as an evolving system. The aforementioned hypothesis claims that this system, called Gaia, looks for a chemical and physical environment that is best for contemporary life as a whole. A lot of processes in the Earth's surface crucial for the conditions of life rely on the interaction of living forms with elements that are inorganic. These processes indicate a global control system that controls Earth's surface atmosphere, temperature, ocean salinity and composition, which is powered by the global thermodynamic disequilibrium state of the Earth system.

What are four pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

- Shape of the continents

- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected

- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present

- Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.

The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.

There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.

In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.

The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.
