Some people consider the Earth to be alive because of its dynamic processes or cycles. Biogeochemical cycle is the turnover of different substances in the Earth and occur in different parts of the Earth like in the biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere and hyrdosphere. Biogeochemical cycles help keep the Earth warm, recycle essential materials and is vital (or are needed) to living things.
In 1838, the city of Boston established the first American police force, followed by New York City in 1845, Albany, NY and Chicago in 1851, New Orleans and Cincinnati in 1853, Philadelphia in 1855, and Newark, NJ and Baltimore in 1857 (Harring 1983, Lundman 1980; Lynch 1984).
Hi,
Scientists have used rock samples to date the Earth's past. They also might use Steno's principles.
Relative dating is the determination of the age of a rock or geological event by comparing with other rock/ geologic events. Absolute dating is a form of geologic dating that gives an actual date or age in history that the item was formed or died in years.
Steno's principles are:
Law of superposition - Bottom layer is the oldest, top layer of the youngest In undisturbed layers of sedimentary rock or magma.
Original horizontally - When sedimentary rock layers form, they are "created in a horizontal form.
The Principle of Lateral Continuity -<span> States that layers of sediment initially extend </span>laterally<span> in all directions.
