I’m done tweeting. #BclubSci

Our rates of carbon consumption, going through millions and millions of years of stored carbon in decades, has had a vast result on our planet & it’s habitability. Not only for us, but for other life forms as well. 🌏🌍🌎#BclubSci #ClimateChange

Picturing that primordial soup to be pretttttyyyy nasty 🤢 #BclubSci

Essential Elementa for Life:
Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, & Phosphorous. These are important for forming DNA, proteins, nucleobases, nucleotides & much, much more!! #BclubSci

“The earliest verifiable fossil of life is of single-cell microbes (like bacteria) from about 3.5 billion years ago.” This is controversial because of the fossil findings. Evolution & natural selection have brought us so far since then. #BclubSci

Our planet’s climate is about the only stable thing in my life right now. #bclubsci #procrastination #collegelife

@PennyDurham13 I was wondering the same! Is this the only combination of conditions that can work together to support life, or are there others?

@lex89i Lucky us!! 🍀

I’d always heard of Pangea in school, but I’ve never heard of Rodinia! This was another major super continent too! So the continents split up once and then came back together and then split up AGAIN? #bclubsci #whut

Whoa! Erosion by itself would eventually wear down the entire surface of the Earth to a flat ball. Thank goodness for erosion and it’s fresh minerals🙏🏼 #bclubsci

Reading about how rare it is that there is another life form out there is really mind blowing. It makes me think, would other life forms have invented radios if they do exist? What if they’ve invented other forms of technology that we cannot detect? #bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

Hmm, today’s Earth atmosphere is much thinner than it was...I wonder if climate change has made it even thinner 🤔. #bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

The fact that the Earth’s oceans are only .03% of the Earth’s mass is unreal! The oceans are 75% of the Earth’s surface. I wonder what percentage the actual livable land on Earth is of the mantle? #bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

The atmosphere hiding inside the planet be like #bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

Me trying to solve the puzzle that is Earth’s surface & tectonic plates: #Bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

The ocean is lava! LITERALLY! Or at least there once was a magma ocean that froze. Evidence of this is still noted in the mantle today. #Bclubsci #thefloorislava

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

Wow! Seismologists discovered the density of Earth’s core by noting how long it took for sound to travel through various points of Earth from earthquakes that cause explosions in the tectonic plates. #Bclubsci

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

Question: How does one find the circumference and radius of the Earth? All I’m imagining in my head is a ginormous ruler. Did they use a model for this? #Bclubsci 🌎🌍🌏

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

@AbbyUofl Hey, maybe it’ll return to its former glory as a planet one day! We learn new things about our world and space ALL the time!

[Peyton Hawks @HawksPeyton]

@sciencegal34 I know! Conspiracy Theory: they found another life form and decided to stop searching space. 😂
