I really like that this book build off of itself and kind of led to where we are today. It really confused me at times but overall it had a lot of interesting content #BCSci18

One of the most popular hypothesis for the origins of eukaryotes is that two prokaryotes initially joining usually by one eating the other or invading the other

Crazy to think that there are forms of life surviving in the hydrothermal vents at the Galápagos Islands area. For what seems like such a harsh environment it’s weird to imagine it being “teeming with life” #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

The earliest verifiable fossil is from about 3.5 billion years ago maybe more which is insane to think that forms of life have been around that long #BCSci18

I’ve heard about Pangea but I never learned about Rodinia growing up. It was a very interesting concept to read about #BCSci18

Shoutout to plate tectonics for “damping out huge radical swings in climate” which would essentially turn earth into something similar to Venus #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

Our earth received 170 quadrillion watts of energy from the sun. Can’t even lie I didn’t even know quadrillion was a number 😳 #BCSci18

The universe is so vast and we’ve really only thoroughly explored our own galaxie. With so many others out there it’s hard to believe that we are the only “intelligent life forms” out there. This topic fascinated me so much and I would love to learn more about it #BCSci18

I remember learning that Venus has a very slow spin but didn’t know it will revolve backwards every 243 days. I also didn’t realize Venus was considered our “sister planet” #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

I was literally like in awe when I read that part of the chapter. These planets are completely different so to read that they started off alike is crazy. Space amazes me #BCSci18

Earth & Venus started off so alike with their atmospheric composition...but now they are so different! Venus can’t even have water on its surface #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

Crazy to think that Earth’s first atmosphere looked nothing like what it does now. It seems so hard to believe or even to picture #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

The Late Heavy Bombardment might be one of the most intense sounding phenomena I’ve ever heard of in relation to science #BCSci18

[Madison @missdils02]

This chapter was super fascinating. I never knew how mysterious our own planet was so it was interesting to read all of this #BCsci18

[Madison @missdils02]

So what did come first, plate tectonics or liquid oceans? #BCsci18

[Madison @missdils02]

I didn’t realize that the Hawaiian islands are still technically forming due to its location over a “hot spot” I thought that was very fascinating #BCsci18

[Madison @missdils02]

Saying the earth’s possible magma ocean froze quickly and then stating that meant several tens to a hundred million years is insane. So weird that by geological standards that’s considered fast #BCsci18

[Madison @missdils02]

I never knew that our planet was one of the greatest scientific challenges in regards to understanding how it works. That’s crazy #BCsci18

[Madison @missdils02]

How I felt trying to comprehend all the scientific vocabulary and make sense of the content of this chapter:
