Amazing Earth Science
Why Amazing Earth Science ? The answer is simple ...because the Earth, our home is filled with incredible things like volcanos, giant floating plates of land crashing into each other, earthquakes, hot springs, lakes, oceans, rivers, ice fields and fossils billions of years old....to name a few things.
Things to Think About
Combustion associated with burning of fossil fuels like coal and gasoline releases Carbon Dioxide, a greenhouse gas.
Fossils in the cliffs of Thornton State Beach just south of San Francisco, CA. These fossils are likely less than a million years old. They help show that at one time sea level was much higher than today. As few as 10,0000 years ago sea level was much lower than today, so much so that one could walk to the Farallon Islands, now more than 17 miles West of San Francisco.
