Change:
Earth since 4.5 billion years
ago
|
Earth, formed as part of our Solar system, is the
only planet in our solar system capable of supporting life as we know it. |
|
|
A Magnetic field is created due to motion of the
mantle relative to solid Iron core. |
|
|
Nuclear decay keeps earths interior molten and in motion about a solid iron core, this assists continental drift and has caused reversal of magnetic poles, as revealed by samples from mid ocean ridge. |
|
|
Earth had only one continent until some 350
million years ago. Right, distribution of material on Earth’s surface. |
|
|
Earth’s unique environment
enables life to exists. Dynamics of Earth stir it’s chemical soup. |
|
|
Geological forces shift
and expose earth’s chemicals |
|
|
Prior to 350,000 yrs ago
there was only one continent. Continental drift was
unknown prior to WW 2 |
Permean Devonian Present |
|
When continents split, Location of Earths resources
and ocean currents changed. Life
forms had to adapt. |
|
|
Earth’s thermal cycles since 400 million years ago. |
|
|
Biological time periods |
|
|
Geological changes have caused life extinctions by
as much as 50% |

Allocation of Radio waves. |
Cosmic rays, nuclei of
any atom, bombard Earths atmosphere creating an Ionization Layer which bounce
back long Radio waves but let fine TV and Radar waves pass. Cosmic light and X-rays pass and can be
seen by Astronomers. The limited
Radio wave spectrum had to be allocated among users. |
|
Fiber Optics make internet possible. |
Fiber Optics serve as
light tubes -- capable of carrying multi communication
frequencies -- bypassing atmospheric limits. |
