This short essay contains an outline of the pertinent points and concepts discussed by R. Buckminster Fuller in his essay Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth‚ which puts forward one argument for evolution. ‘Earth is only eight thousand miles in diameter‚ which is almost a negligible dimension in the great vastness of space. Our nearest star - the sun - is ninety-two million miles away. The nearest star’ after that ‘is one hundred thousand times further. It takes approximately four and one-third

GG310 OCEANOGRAPHY Evaluate the geological evidence for so-called ‘Snowball Earth’ glacial episodes in the Precambrian and the hypothesis that these episodes were critical in the evolution of complex life. Introduction The hypothesis of Snowball Earth explores the possibility of the Earth’s surfaces having been frozen over during the Cryogenian period. The initial notion was thought to be from the glacial deposits which occurred around the world parallel to the same time frame. This led scientist

Weather and Atmospheric Water Humidity- the amount of water in the air in a particular spot. Relative Humidity- the percentage of water vapor a certain volume of air is holding relative to the max amt it can contain. 80% humidity means that it is holding 80% of the total amt of water that it can hold at that temp. Heat Index- shows what the temperature feels like due to humidity. Dew Point- the point at which air becomes saturated with water. Water will condense from the air as dew‚ if the
