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.

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.

For each of the following choose the variable that will be more favorable in solution formation. A) Weak or Strong Solvent inter
Deffense [45]

Based on factors affecting solution formation;

  • Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.
  • Increase in entropy favours solution formation
  • Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation

<h3>What is a solution?</h3>

A solution is a substance formed when a substance known as solute dissolves in another substance know as solvent.

Factors that affect solution formation include:

  • strength of intermolecular forces between solute and solvent
  • entropy
  • enthalpy

Strong solvent-solute intermolecular forces favors solution formation.

Increase in entropy favours solution formation

Decrease in enthalpy favours solution formation.
