The geological time scale divides the history of Earth into blocks of time known as eras, epochs, periods, and eons. We are curr

ently living in the Holocene epoch, a period that began after the last major ice age, but some scientists believe we have entered a new epoch. The Anthropocene is a proposed epoch that would begin when human activity first started to significantly affect Earth. Supporters of this proposed epoch argue that human activity has caused large changes to the geology and diversity of organisms of Earth, so this period should be documented in the geological time scale. What do you think? Should human activity should be documented on the geological scale? Why or why not? If the human population were not the size it was today, how would Earth be different? Consider all four spheres—geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere—in your answer.

Yes, humans have done more damage to the earth than any natural catastrophe. Civilization have ended. The earth has the ability to renew itself time and time again by it's own natural 4 powers. Do we?

I think the period of human presence on the Earth should not be documented on the geological time scale. Although humans have caused an enormous change in the Earth, this has actually been done over an extremely short period of time. Modern humans appeared roughly 0.8-0.3 million years ago. Civilization appeared roughly 5,000 years ago. However, significant damage and alteration to the geology and the diversity of organisms has only happened in the last few centuries.

If human population were not the size that it is today, the differences would be massive. Agriculture and animal husbandry would be practiced in a much smaller scale. This would allow many ecosystems to remain intact. Moreover, the pollution and garbage that we create would be reduced. Finally, with a reduction in population, living standards tend to rise, as well as education. More educated people would probably mean more environmentally conscious individuals.

If there is a 2 kg ball with the same kinetic energy which one will be moving faster
Andrew [12]

Answer:

If you double the mass of an object, you double the kinetic energy. If you double the speed of an object, the kinetic energy increases by four times. The word "kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinesis" which means motion. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another in the form of a collision.

Propane, the gas used in barbeque grills, is made of carbon and hydrogen. Will the atoms that make up propane form covalent bond
Masteriza [31]
Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen. Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.
