How the Earth Was Made
Reaction Paper How the Earth was Made

There were a few things I liked about the video how the earth was made. The video brought up some things that I had previously known about our planet’s development into what it is today. Also it brought about some interesting new theories about our planets ice ages, continental alignments and the water world theories. Here are some of the things that I had found most intriguing about this video. The first thing that I found intriguing in the video was the fact that nobody knows for sure where all the water on our planet came from. The theory that was proposed in the video about asteroids, and comets seems to me to be the most plausible theory. The other thing that interested me about the oceans development was the fact that it had world-wide thunderstorms that lasted for millions of years that just blows my mind. Also there were once green iron rich oceans and there was no life up until these stromatalites began growing all over the planet and producing oxygen. This in turn caused the iron in the water to oxidize and settle out to the bottom of the ocean making our oceans the blue color they are today.
The second thing about the video was the theory that the first super continent wasn’t what I had previously known it to be. The first super continent as far as I had known was Pangaea but the video takes you back even farther into earth’s history and scientist now believe the first super continent was actually Rhrodinia. Another thing is that I do believe that these super continents did actually exist because of the way the continents seemed to all fit together like pieces of a puzzle. The third topic that I want to bring up is the ice age theories. The most interesting thing that I learned about this was just the simple fact that there were more than just a couple of ice ages there were actually many throughout earth’s history. For

    I really question the theory regarding climate change starting human evolution. Partly since the African sand evidence does not seem credible for me. Secondly, sure climate change might have started at the same time as human evolution but that doesn't mean climate change was the trigger in any way. I would certainly have felt rather more reassured if this documentary presented facts rather than speculation.…

    What I like most in this video is the use of pathos through the photos of the people who died from the car accident and the question at the end, “Was the message that important?”, because these are the scene that catches my attention and touched my feelings. I find it easier to convey the message that texting can wait because lives are more important. What I dislike about this video is that it failed to establish the trustworthiness of the people who did this video because it lacks information about them and how are they connected to the…

    I enjoyed watching the videos, and the ones that stood out to me were the After Religion, Astrophysics and Religion, What is Art for?, What is Literature for?, What is Philosophy for?, What is History for?, and The Value of Forgotten Ideas. I found it very interesting that in the After Religion video, the message was to show that the real challenge with religion is to learn from it so that we can live fulfilled lives by replacing the things that religion was made up to provide. The thing that stood out to me about the Astrophysics and Religion video was the connect between astrophysics and religion. This connection was explained by the awe both concepts show and the concept kindness…

    The movie was so interesting because I got to see the different ways Americans do to help save the Earth. Before we watched the movie, I didn't know that there were so many Americans doing their part. The top 3 things that attracted me most during the movie were: The Rooftop of the city hall of Illinois, the Bikes and the City Museum. To see a rooftop greenery in the middle of place filled with buildings and different infrastructures was a beautiful sight to see. It's like the beautiful scenery is calling you, saying " Hey!

    Growing up in this millennial generation has been different from the others. The economy that we live in today has different values than what our parents and grandparents have gone through. Our environment has become a world wide sensation and is a topic of discussion in almost every learning environment. In this day and age you could do so much to help the world, economy and your community. This short documentary discussed the environment and ways for us to not cause much stress on it. Each great thinker came up with their own way to make the planet a better place. Each idea that they came up with were interesting. The one I felt like I could relate to the most is William McDonough. I loved his idea because he touched on the concept of recycling…

    The major theme that is in this documentary is self explanatory which is arguing that the earth is flat. This documentary and our class in my point of view both have a smilier theme. A simple answer is that they both discuss myths. For example in the documentary, Mark discusses that the Earth is flat and tries providing many points of proof and in class we had earlier talked about the Lion Gate in Argolid, Greece. According to Greek mythology, the Lion Gate was built by cyclops because physically it would have been impossible for human men to have raised such heavy stone to create the arch by themselves. A long time ago and still to this day, there is some debate that the Earth may be flat and not round even though there has been plenty of…

    Dirt The Movie

    I learned some interesting facts while watching this movie. First off, four and half billion years ago Earth was once a fiery ball of molten rock. All activity on earth was volcanic. Rain pounded rock into clay and thus formed the ocean where life began. Microscopic life from the sea mixed with clay to create the first living dirt. However, two million years ago humans changed the life of dirt. Humans use the dirt every day. We use it for our food, we use it for shelter, and we use it to hold and clean our water. It was interesting how natural builders today still use dirt to build houses or use them as some element of a house, such as a floor or wall. Also people in poor countries use the dirt, to make pottery. Dirt is where our crops grow. It is important to each and every one of us in some way.…
