not know that the earth is not round. In fact it is a spheroid. Isaac Newton was the first to propose that the earth isn’t round. Newton's research showed that inside the earth there are multiple layers. Later scientists discovered that the very first layer, the crust, is made out of plate tectonics. All the different phenomena that we see on Earth, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and landforms, are caused by the plate tectonics. In order to understand the layers of the earth one has to…
in a world of relentless change. This Earth we call our home has slowing been maturing since science can prove so. It has molded itself through many tedious reproductions to give it life to live on. Our home is approximately 4.54 billion years old (Sarfati 8); however, with the lifestyle that the human race has allowed itself to live, we have left unmistakable damage to the planet. We are now approaching an era that can possibly be a very difficult one. Earth has conducted a diverse amount of…
The snowball Earth Theory was hypothesized by British geologist Brian Harland in 1964. The core ideal of the theory is that during the Pre-Cambrian period, the continents of the Earth were located near the Southern Hemisphere, and the entire planet was covered in glacial ice sheets, from the Poles to the equator (Schrag, et al., 2002). The following essay will aim to explain the theory of the Snowball Earth in detail. Brian Harland based his theory on the fact that he found glacial tillites with…
How do changes in one part of the Earth affect the rest of the planet? Changes in one part of the Earth affect the rest of the planet because we all share the same atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere. This suggests that anything that changes will affect everywhere because every single thing on Earth is part of Earth system. A system is a bunch of parts that work together and depend on each other, but are different individually. So, if parts of the system changes, since they…
already know most of the world. Indeed, we are so small and insufficient that there are some many unknowns out there. 2. Trappist-1 system Highlights: a recently found solar system located 40 light years away that house 7 earth-size planets,…

700 years ago our earth had been in the Pleistocene Epoch, incorporating an evolutionary surge that lead to Homo Habilis, who lived from about 2.1 to 1.5 million years ago(2). By the peak of this duration the global temperatures on earth dropped by about 5oC, plunging the entire planet into an ice age, creating vast glaciers miles deep that expanded across limitless amounts of land, locking hordes of water into impenetrable sheets of ice. However, this gave a few species on earth a fierce…
Antarctic is one of the main factors in the cooling of the earth. He states that the reason for this is due to the fact that the colder water of the Antarctic flows down towards the tropics and mixes with the warmer water which results in the two different temperatures mixing and cooling down not only the surface water but also that atmosphere. Sadly though even though this great system is put into place naturally to cool down the earth and keep it in homeostasis this system is being threatened…
Weather plays the greatest role in T.C. Boyle A Friend of the Earth. The novel jumps back and forward between past and present, allowing readers to see the effect weather change has not only on the environment, but the lifestyle of society. Climate change sets the motions for all future events, bringing Tierwater to his current life purpose, and contributing to his mentality as an environmentalist who witness the destruction of the planet. The ecological changes in weather has dramatically…
Flat Earth Essay The idea of a flat earth started in early Egypt and Mesopotamia and it spread around the world to other cultures until it slowly started to fade away. Although we have proof that the earth is an ellipsoid, there are some people that still believe that the earth is flat. Of course, they also have evidence on why they think they are right. Both theories make sense if you don’t think too much about it, they both have proof that seems reasonable. Religion plays a…
