A fossil is the preserved remains of an organism that died long ago. Fossils are formed when an organism is quickly buried under sediment layers, which harden over time. Erosion or tectonic plate movement can later expose fossils, allowing scientists to learn about ancient life, climates, and the past appearance of Earth from the preserved fossils.

The Earth is composed of several layers including the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is divided into continental crust and oceanic crust. The mantle is the thickest layer and contains most of Earth's mass. Beneath the mantle lies the liquid outer core and solid inner core. Continental drift theory proposes that continents were once joined together and have since drifted apart, as evidenced by matching geological features and fossil distributions across continents.
Group 2
Fossils provide evidence of ancient organisms and plants that were once alive. There are two main types of fossils: body fossils, which are remains of organisms like bones or shells, and trace fossils, which are records of organism activity like footprints. Fossils form over millions of years as remains become mineralized and embedded in rock layers. Similar fossil distributions in widely separated places indicate the areas were once connected, providing evidence that continents were once joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea that later broke apart, causing fossils to separate in different locations.

The document summarizes the formation and components of the universe and solar system. It describes how the Big Bang formed the universe 13.7 billion years ago and led to the formation of stars, galaxies, and interstellar matter. It then details the components of the solar system, including the eight planets and satellites such as the Moon and Titan, as well as asteroids and comets. Finally, it discusses the formation of Earth 4.6 billion years ago and the beginning of life on Earth around 2 billion years ago due to moderate temperatures, an atmosphere, liquid water, and Earth's imperfect spherical shape.

The document discusses NASA's plans to send astronauts to Mars to search for evidence that liquid water once existed on the surface. Scientists believe Mars was once warmer and contained liquid water based on images showing features formed by water erosion. When astronauts visit Mars, they will look for sedimentary rocks, minerals like limestone that require water to form, and signs of weathering caused by water. The document provides background on different rock types and geological processes to help astronauts identify evidence of ancient water on Mars.
Relative Rock Age - Superposition
The document discusses relative dating techniques used by geologists to determine the ages of rock layers. It explains that Nicolaus Steno established the concept of relative dating by observing that sedimentary rock layers are ordered chronologically. The two main laws of relative dating are the law of original horizontality and the law of superposition. Unconformities in the rock record, caused by erosion, and the cross-cutting relationships of intrusions and extrusions also provide clues about relative ages. Fossils can be used to relatively date rock layers if they are index fossils that have been absolutely dated elsewhere.
History of earth
The document summarizes key events in Earth's history from the formation of the solar system to the present. It describes the origin of life beginning with simple prokaryotes over 3 billion years ago. The first complex eukaryotic cells emerged around 1.7 billion years ago, followed by multicellular organisms over 700 million years ago. The development of land plants and animals is outlined through the Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras, along with changing climates and configurations of the Earth's continents and oceans. Absolute and relative dating methods are also summarized that are used to determine the age of geological features and fossils.
Restless earth lesson 1
The document provides information about the structure and layers of the Earth. It discusses evidence that the Earth is composed of layers, including rock samples, volcanic materials, earthquake waves, and meteorites. Convection currents in the mantle cause the movement of tectonic plates.
9. Earth's Interior Notes
The Earth is composed of four main layers - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust and upper mantle make up the lithosphere, which is rigid, while the lower mantle and outer core are more plastic and move via convection currents. Earth's magnetic field originates from the flow of molten iron in the outer core.

I. b. earth and earth systems
The document discusses the different spheres or layers of the Earth. It begins by describing the Earth and its color compared to other planets. It then discusses the four subsystems that make up Earth and flow of matter and energy between them. It identifies the layers of the Earth and differentiates between them. Finally, it discusses natural waters and the water cycle.
Evolution of the earth
The document summarizes the evolution of the Earth and solar system. It describes how the universe began with the Big Bang around 14 billion years ago. Over time, gas and dust coalesced to form stars and planets, including our sun and solar system approximately 4.5 billion years ago. As the early Earth formed and cooled, differentiation occurred with iron sinking to form the core and lighter elements floating upward. The atmosphere gradually evolved from a primitive mix including hydrogen and helium to today's nitrogen and oxygen-rich atmosphere through volcanic outgassing and the rise of oxygen-producing life.
Introduction to earth processes
Forces within the Earth cause earthquakes and volcanoes, which both release large amounts of energy that can impact the Earth's surface. Earthquakes occur when rocks break along faults due to movement of tectonic plates, while volcanoes form when magma escapes through openings where plates are moving or at hot spots, building up from eruptions of ash and lava. Recent examples of devastating earthquakes and volcanoes include those in Japan.
Rocks families
Rocks are grouped into three major types: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies either below or above the Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form through the compaction and cementation of sediments, such as bits of older rocks, mineral and organic matter. Metamorphic rocks form from the transformation of existing rocks through high pressures and temperatures, causing them to recrystallize into a different rock type.
Earth's formation ppt
This document summarizes the formation of the solar system according to the core accretion model. It explains that the solar system began as a solar nebula that collapsed under gravity to form the sun. Heavier elements near the sun merged to form terrestrial planets, while lighter elements further from the sun formed gas giants. The earliest Earth had a hot molten surface and atmosphere of gases like hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Over time, the Earth cooled and developed layers, water was introduced via asteroids, and a water cycle, plate tectonics, and life emerged.
History and formation of the Earth (Presentation #2 Bilogy L2 project)
The Earth formed 4.54 billion years ago from a solar nebula. Its early atmosphere was toxic and volcanic activity and asteroid impacts were common. One large impact is believed to have formed the Moon. Over billions of years the planet cooled and developed tectonic plates and a stable crust allowing liquid water and the first life. The atmosphere gradually gained oxygen as photosynthetic life evolved. Multicellular life diversified in the Phanerozoic Eon starting over 500 million years ago, though many species died out in extinction events like the one that ended the Cretaceous Period.
Earth's formation
The Earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago from a cloud of dust and gas that collapsed under gravity to form a spinning disk. As the disk spun and separated into rings, the particles at the center became molten and formed the Sun, while the outer particles cooled to form planets like Earth. The Moon is believed to have formed from debris ejected during a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized planet called Theia. Without the stabilizing effect of the Moon, Earth's rotation would have been faster and its climate more extreme, potentially preventing the emergence of life.
Nota sains t1 b9
The document summarizes key aspects of Earth science:
1) The Earth system consists of four main components - hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and geosphere.
2) The Earth has layers including the crust, mantle, and core. Rocks form through igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic processes.
3) Endogenic and exogenic processes shape the Earth, including plate tectonics, volcanism, earthquakes, and weathering.
4) Geohazards result from these processes and include volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides. Technology helps monitor and warn of geohazards.
Dynamic Earth
The document summarizes key concepts in geology including:
1) Plate tectonics describes the seven major plates that make up the earth's surface and how earthquakes and volcanoes occur at their boundaries. Fossils found in different continents provide evidence the earth was once a single landmass.
2) The structure of the earth consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core made of different rock types and temperatures.
3) Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks are the three main rock types, forming through cooling of magma, layering of sediments, and changes induced by heat and pressure, respectively.
Endogenic processes(Michelle Domingo)
This document discusses several endogenic (internal) geologic processes that occur within the Earth, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, folding, faulting, and magmatism. These processes are driven by pressure deep within the lithosphere (Earth's crust and upper mantle) and the movement of tectonic plates, which can cause the surface to buckle, bend, or split apart. Magmatism and volcanism play key roles in mountain formation through the emplacement and eruption of magma at the surface. Various types of stress, such as compression, tension, and shear, influence these endogenic geologic processes.
Astronomy
1) The Earth formed from a cloud of gas and dust around 4.6 billion years ago as the solar system was taking shape.
2) As the young Earth cooled, heavier elements sank to form its core and lighter gases escaped to form an atmosphere. Water rained down to form the oceans around 4 billion years ago.
3) The first single-celled life forms developed around 3.6 billion years ago, protected by the oceans from intense solar radiation. Multicellular life emerged later and began moving onto land about 500 million years ago.
Geology
Geologists use the study of rocks and fossils to divide Earth's history into a geological time scale consisting of eons, eras, periods, and epochs. Each time period is defined by the characteristic lifeforms that existed during that period. By examining the order and inclusions of rock layers, as well as using radiometric dating techniques, geologists can determine the relative and absolute ages of rocks to reconstruct Earth's history over its 4.6 billion year existence.

Thestarsandthegalaxiesintheuniverse
The document discusses the stars and galaxies in the universe. It begins by describing the sun as the closest star to Earth and the center of our solar system. It is fueled by nuclear fusion and provides light and heat for life. The document then covers the various types of stars including white dwarfs, neutron stars, giants, and supergiants. It explains that stars are formed in nebulae from collapsing gas and dust clouds. As stars age, they eventually die and become white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes depending on their original mass. Galaxies are groups of stars held together by gravity, and come in spiral, elliptical, and irregular shapes. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy containing around 200 billion

Fossils presentation by group 6a
Fossils provide evidence of prehistoric life by preserving the remains of once-living organisms. When an organism dies and is buried under sediment layers, the buildup of material over time can replace the organic material with minerals in a process that forms a fossil. Erosion later exposes fossils at the earth's surface, allowing scientists to study how life has changed over long periods of geological history.

The Seven Star Fishes 2
Seven little fishes disobeyed their mother and went into the open sea, where they were caught in a giant's magic net. The god Tane took pity on them and placed them in the sky, where they became the star cluster Matariki and its seven stars. One star remains nameless, allowing children to give it a name each night before bed.
Matariki Slide Show
The story describes how seven little fish and their mother lived in the sea. Their mother warned them not to go into the open waters because the fisherman Tataraimaka was fishing that day. However, the seven fish disobeyed and went into the open sea, where Tataraimaka caught them. Upset by their crying, the God of light placed the seven fish in the sky, turning them into stars known as Matariki.
