Reading Material: Realms of the Earth Astro-physicists and scientists believe that there could be quite a few planets in the Universe similar to our planet Earth. There is also a probable chance that some form of life prevails and sustains in one of such planet. However‚ so far as we presently know‚ the Earth is the only planet which supports life which makes it a very unique planet. It is therefore imperative (very important and necessary) for us to understand the spheres of the Earth as the spheres

Continental drift is the movement of the Earth ’s continents relative to each other. The hypothesis that continents ’drift ’ was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 and was fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. However‚ it was not until the development of the theory of plate tectonics in the 1960s‚ that a sufficientgeological explanation of that movement was found. |Contents | | [hide] | |1 History

devastating effects the coastal areas and small coastal settlements. These impacts can be split into environmental and socioeconomic. Some of the main environmental impacts of global warming are that there is an increase in the amount and speed of erosion at less resistant cliffs‚ such as those in North Norfolk‚ Holderness. Another may include the risk of lowland coastal flooding – e.g. The Wash‚ Essex river estuary. This has many impacts on the environment. Lowland coastal flooding could also mean
