Monday: The Earth has changed many times over the billions of years that it has existed. Tectonic plates have moved, colliding to create or combine continents, and life has evolved to adapt to the changing planet. As scientists have studied how the Earth has changed over time, we have discovered many important events, such as when eras and periods ended, giving clues about what life was like on the planet during those times. As it is harder to learn about the extremely distant past, we have discovered more events closer to the present day.
Tuesday:
There are many ways and techniques that scientists can use to determine what Earth was like many of years ago. One technique that scientists use is core samples. For example, scientists use ice
Extreme weather is another effect of global warming. While experiencing some of the hottest summers on record, much of the United States has also been experiencing colder-than-normal winters. Changes in climate can cause the polar jet stream the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air to migrate south, bringing with it cold, Arctic air. This is why some places have very cold weather more often than some of the othe hot areas.Global warming may also lead to extreme weather other than cold or heat extremes. Like tornadoes or hurricane patterns might change. The atmosphere indicate that hurricanes are more likely to become less frequent on a global basis, though

Until the early 1900's, scientists used several methods of measurement in their efforts to determine the age of the Earth. They studied sedimentation and erosion, stratification (with fossil evidence), measured the salinity of the oceans, and used thermodynamics to determine loss of heat since the Earth's beginning. Each of these approaches yielded estimates that the Earth was anywhere from 24 to 100 million years old.
We have developed a lot of new technology to all us to do fairly accurate carbon dating; that alone has changed previously established theories. There is so much about our planet that we do not know or completely understand, and part of it is we do not have the ability to process the evidence we have correctly, or the evidence that was there, no longer exists because it has decomposed, or broken down into the the dirt and the soil.
The Earth 's atmosphere has changed all through history. Just in the most recent 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of frigid progress and withdraw, with the sudden end of the last ice age around 7,000 years back denoting the start of the present day atmosphere period and of human development. The greater part of these atmosphere changes are credited to little varieties in Earth 's circle that change the measure of sun based vitality our planet gets. Exploratory proof for warming of the atmosphere framework is unequivocal. The present warming pattern is of specific criticalness in light of the fact that the vast majority of it is likely human-impelled and continuing at a rate that is exceptional in the previous 1,300 years. Earth-circling satellites and other mechanical advances have empowered researchers to see the comprehensive view, gathering a wide range of sorts of data about our planet and its atmosphere on a worldwide scale. This group of information, gathered over numerous years, uncovers the signs of an evolving atmosphere. The warmth catching nature of carbon dioxide and different gasses was shown in the mid-nineteenth century. Their capacity to influence the exchange of infrared vitality through the environment is the logical premise of numerous instruments flown by NASA. There is no doubt that expanded levels of nursery gasses must bring about the Earth to warm accordingly. Ice centers drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain icy masses
In 1947 Clair "Pat" Patterson began to calculate the age of the Earth by the request of Harrison Brown at the University of Chicago. The age of the Earth was always questionable to historians before Pat Patterson. In 1650 James Usher Archbishop of Ireland accepted biblical views as authoritative and used events from the old testament to calculate the age of the Earth. His calculations gave him the result of Saturday October 22, 4004 B.C. at six o' clock P.M. Scientists after that began to try and measure the sediments of rock in the Earth but their calculations varied too widely from three million to fifteen billion years. It was then discovered that by calculating the amount of lead in meteorites you will be able to see exactly how old the Earth really is.
In Chapter 11 “Deciphering Earth’s History” of the book “Earth Science” by Tarbuck and Lutgens, it explains to the audience how scientists have come up with new ways to figure out the age of Earth and even mountains, rivers and fossils. Some ideas such as rock layers, fossils, and radioactivity are some of the ways scientists use to figure out the exact date the earth was created and even find out how old some parts of the world are. Finding out the exact times many mountains, rivers, fossils and humans actually existed can help us put them down on the Geologic Time Scale and also answer questions such as, “Did humans and Dinosaurs Ever
Over time, Earth’s process had to have changed at some point. The Earth’s changing process hasn’t just effected the landforms and natural features, but also the populations organisms living here. These drastic processes have caused landform changes, climate changes, and natural disasters.
by reconstructing how it changed across time periods when the Earth was warming," said the
The debate about the age of the Earth has persisted for centuries! Some scientists try to disprove Christians and some Christians try to disprove scientific evidence. Nevertheless, there is a surprising number of Christians and scientists who have worked together to give their opinion about the age of the Earth by using both Biblical and scientific facts. The purpose of this essay is to succinctly describe both Old Earth and Young Earth viewpoints. My opinion about the matter will follow, in which I will provide Biblical evidence to support my claims.
Both the physical and living Earth have changed over time. Pangea and sea floor spreading is an example of how the physical Earth has changed. About 1 billion years ago, The United States of America was no where close to its current location as of today. How do we know that the continents have moved over time with seafloor spreading? There are many clues of how this has happened.
Rocks have been a record that shows that the world is 4.5 billion years old; although the first 500 million years of earth has not been recorded by rocks some of earths life has. (Condie) Rocks are used for scientists to discover and hypothesize the origins of earth and to form theories about how life and the way land masses were created.
Due to global warming , the Arctic is warming much faster than the average global temperature; ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting and the permafrost is thawing. Since 1880, after carbon dioxide emissions took off with the Industrial Revolution, the average global temperature has increased about one and half degrees Fahrenheit. Each decade gets warmer than the last. A conference organized by the Geological Society in London in 2010 to evaluate how climate changed effected the earth before this time. The Geological Society warned that it could take the Earth one hundred thousand years to
Evidence of the dynamic changes of Earth’s surface through time is found in the geologic record.
The Earth has not always been as it is today. Periods of climate alterations have occurred over time to land us where we stand today. Around 8200 years ago or 6200 BCE, a surprising event occurred on Earth. The Earth underwent an abrupt climate temperature change. This change is known as the 8.2 ka year event or 8200 year event which refers to the last major climate alteration, a Northern Hemisphere cooling event that occurred approximately 8,200 years before the present. This event was less severe than the Younger Dryas, a cooling event preceding the 8.2, but more severe than the Little Ice Age that occurred after. The event occurred in the Greenland Ice cores during the Holocene, a period in which the Earth had a relatively stable climate.
