the abundance of worlds in our solar system, scientists still are not certain how planets are created. The Earth was naturally created 4.5 billion years ago. With the rise of the sun, small particles came together and became larger particles. Proceeding these events solar winds then swept away elements, such as hydrogen and helium, leaving only rocky materials. Like many other planets, earth was created from these materials. The first stage of earth’s creation was earth's core, with heavy elements
Teacher Content Knowledge: The moon is much smaller than the earth is, in fact the earth is more than one quarter of the size of the earth. The fact that the moon much smaller means that there is much less gravity on the moon than we have on earth, though, there is still gravity on the moon. The amount of gravity on the moon is one sixth of the amount of gravity we have here on earth. On the moon, there are only two types of regions, however, despite the fact that there are just two regions, there
The Earth spins around an axis. The Earth takes (a bit more than) one day to go around once. This axis is pointing off somewhere in space. This axis (mostly) doesn’t move. At the same time, the Earth is orbiting the Sun. It takes (a bit more than) one year to go around once. The plane of the Earth’s orbit (mostly) doesn’t move. The spin axis of the Earth’s daily rotation is not perpendicular to the plane of the Earth’s orbit.It is tilted (approximately) 23.4 degrees. The angle of tilt (mostly) doesn’t
The History of the Earth History has shown that the Earth's surface can change, and just as fast, as our lives can change with it. In an instant our planet can be violent and out of control creating and destroying life and land. There is not a single day that the earth goes silently without effecting lives in a positive or negative way. The rich ash from a volcano can produce mass crops for a farmer, but in most cases it leads to mass clean up for an entire culture. Humankind has a natural instinct
stuff from factory productions to people’s trash accumulation is destroying the planet earth at an alarming rate. Meaning that people are stripping the earth of its natural resources to mass produce products which is bought by consumers only to be disposed of quickly and either dump in a landfill or burnt up in an incinerator while the government stands by encouraging it to happen even quicker. Therefore, the earth is not able to keep pace with the stripping of it natural resources and will not be
do, they would just take steps to make the patient as comfortable as possible until the end came. However, this is not a human patient. It is our home - the earth. The store scenario well depicts what is happening to our planet, dirty air, global warning, polluted waters, and toxic wastes are just a few of the maldies of our very ill earth. Like the doctors mentioned above, the experts are in a quandary as to what to do. The media regularly call attention to the earth's poor health with such headlines
of people dream of a happy family in a beautiful house, but we did not imagine about environment in those days. Industries and vehicles are releasing carbon dioxide, which damage our environment. While we are dreaming about our bright future, our earth has been raped by our activities since humans are exist. When people realize about environmental problem, they push their responsibility to solve and protect our planet to the large organizations. Instead of blaming governments and factories, people
The creation of the earth is a unique concept that man has been grappling to understand, for many years. Luckily over hundreds of years man has developed a theory that explains that complexing order of events. According to science approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a huge cloud of star dust and gas this was known as a solar nebula. At some point in that cloud, gravity collapsed the material that contained it into itself. This material then started to spin and it would eventually
reduce the contributing factors and educate the population of their self-destructive habits. Negligence towards the earth's wellbeing is far from a new subject. Scientists in the particular field of environmental biology have always been aware of the earth and its needs. But not until the sixties did the general public start to become aware of the earth's distress. The bottom line comes down to a few major contributing factors: earth's population creates more waste than it can store, the production of
The Heavens and Earth Even to the casual observer, using just the ability of the human eye, there is a noticeable order in the manner of the movement of the celestial objects as they travel across the sky. The Sun, Moon, and the stars, all have a discernable pattern to their rising and setting. Upon closer observance, one might notice slight seasonal changes in the relative location on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets. Alternatively, one can notice more drastic variations in the Moon's

increasing and obvious sign that the Earth is sick, humankind should step up in order to prevent the continuous health deterioration of the Earth. This is because taking care of Earth is no longer an option – it is a necessity. With the continuing effects of a sickening Earth such as global warming, natural disaster and pollution that is threatening the environment and humankind, it’s hard to say that our planet Earth will be the way it is today in the future. Without Earth, there would be any of us and
Planet Earth is home to millions of species of life, including ourselves. It is unique in the Solar System because it is the only planet which is able to support a great variety of life: from basic living micro-organisms to highly sophisticated and intelligent human beings. The planet provides the necessary resources and products to support the biosphere that can support the global living organism’s population. Yet, what factors allow Earth to sustain life? Life as we recognize it requires specific
The Earth is the lucky third planet from the Sun and the largest of the solar system’s four terrestrial planets. It is the most suitable place for human beings to live because it has adequate sources of everything essential for human beings. Predictions about the end of the world have been denied before. However many people predict that 2012 will be the end of our world. According to Mayan’s calendar, the world will end in the year 2012.Thus is why NASA as the organization that investigates on astronomy
On planet Earth, there are many geological processes (aka earth processes) that occur. These natural geological earth processes certainly have an utmost significance and it is important that we are aware of their abilities. A few of these natural processes include plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, mass-wasting, and tidal waves. These processes affect the environmental conditions around the Earth. In the history of our planet, it has been shown that these geological processes have changed the
First, we must leave Earth gravity this is the worst part because the gravity holds us on Earth and you may experience 5-7 G of force. When we leave Earth, we will be able to float around and see the Earth from a different perspective. Then see the moon orbiting the Earth. The orbit of the moon around the Earth is cool because the Earth is the only planet that we know of with this big of a moon. Then we will see the Earth, Moon and that is one of the best things to see this early in the journey.
Jaskaran Pannu 005/ Elizabeth Earth System Science Earth system refers to the earths interacting physical, biological, and chemical processes. The system consists of land, oceans, atmosphere and poles. The earth system has four spheres, including the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. The geosphere refers to the solid parts of the earth system, including earth’s rocky crust, mantle, and the metallic core. Within the geosphere is the lithosphere, which only refers to
Planet Earth is the only home people have ever known ,but people cannot stay on it forever because due to the loss of biodiversity , pollution , deforestation and the rising of the temperature caused by people .the good news is that people are in a new space race . Its believed that by the mid 2030’s human can orbit , live and occupy other planets safely . Humans are living organisms that cannot make their own food , therefor need to feed on other substances like plants that make their own food
The greenhouse effect has heavy effects on earth. It has positive and negative effects on humans and the earth. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the earth, and it is necessary for the survival of humans. The greenhouse effect helps warm the earth’s surface. Without it our planet would be too cold for humans to survive. Human activity has changed the concentration of certain greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The world, for
The Earth is the ecosystem in which we live, and therefore it is to be protected at all costs. However, many people do not take the matter of nurturing our planet seriously. Most people are extremely ignorant of the amount of water they consume, the garbage they throw away, and the opportunities to recycle that they let slip by. People from the south seem to think that recycling is more a part of the “northern” culture than it is theirs. Sadly, people have yet to realize that the Earth is their home
