GEO205

The story of Earth is quite interesting video which explains the whole beginning from
where the humans began to walk on their two feet and looks into the future that may be
store for over next 5 billion years. The video start with the giant Sun that is surrounded
by dust and the Earth is not formed yet before five billion years ago. Later on Millions of
years, gravity pulls all of the rocks and dust together, creating the newborn Earth. Nextly,
the video goes back to 4.54 billion years ago, at this stage is filled with carbon dioxide
and nitrogen, making it toxic. If we were on the planet at this time, we would suffocate or
be burned to death by lava. Later on, a plane crashes into Earth, sending sonic waves
around the two planets. Over 1000 years later, gravity pulls the rubble back together and
forms our moon. Finally, the Earth starts to cool and lava hardens. After in those 3.9
billion years the debris from the solar system attacks Earth. The meteors contain small
amounts of water. The water from the meteors starts to create pools which will later help
form the crust of the Earth. Later a mega storm which can caused from the moon's
gravitational pull. The moon was so close to the Earth that it moved huge waves, causing

a hurricane. Eventually, the moon moves away from the Earth, the tides decrease in size
and islands emerge from the water. Some of the islands are volcanic and start erupting.
This gas, when in Earth's atmosphere, heats up the planet tremendously. Another meteor
shower hits Earth, along with more water. Ocean plants begin to grow out of the sea bed.
Over 2 billion years later, the oxygen levels continue to rise and the days become longer.
The core starts to push the plates around; the planet is active now. The temperature
becomes 30 degrees C and the days are 18 hours long. After certain stages around 600
Million years ago, the temperature has risen from as high as before. The organisms such
as bacteria started growing. Also plants and many forms of animals start to explode up.
Other animals include Fish, Dragonflies, Lizards and the small lizards. However, at the
year 200 Million years ago the, the super continent Pangea is still in one mass. The
temperature is stabilizing. The Earth becomes a peaceful planet. The mammals'
descendants are monkeys and live near lakes. 20 Million Years Ago. It is our planet as we
know it but there is one thing missing: humans. A rift opens up on the East coast of
Africa which forms into a range of mountains. These mountains block rain from reaching
the center of the continent and the Sahara Desert is formed. A latter species of humans
crosses the Red Sea. Their population increases and they spread to other parts of the
world. 40 Thousand Years Ago An ice wall is coming and the temperature drops
incredibly. The ice "sculpts" the Earth, forming all sorts of land and water
features. Finally, at the stage of 20 thousand years ago, a bridge of land has formed in
between Siberia and the Americas. The humans travel over the bridge and start
populating North America. 14 Thousand Years Ago The ice begins to retreat to the Artics
and the Great Lakes are formed in the process. 6 Thousand Years Ago The ice has fully
retreated and is now completely in the Arctics. The video ends with by saying that now
its the time for humans were they are fully evolved and has lived in this world that we
know it. We, the humans, are fully evolved and live in the world as we know it.
