soil through erosion would in most areas probably be balanced by the formation of new soil. In my virgin land a mantle of vegetation protects the soil. When rain falls on a surface of grass or on the leaves of my trees‚ some of the moisture evaporates before it can reach the ground. Trees and grass serve as windbreaks‚ and a network of roots helps to hold the soil in place against the action of both rain and wind.

SICK PLANTS Hypothesis: From my research‚ I think the plant in the solution containing all nutrients will have the fastest / most successful growth‚ and the control group / water solution will have the least growth as it doesn’t have any of its necessary nutrients. Variables: The independent variable will be the solution the plants are put in to begin with. All other conditions will be kept the same‚ such as temperature‚ sunlight‚ length of shoot‚ time space left. I will have a control group

There are both reductionist and holistic approaches to Earth sciences. The formal discipline of Earth sciences may include the study of the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ oceans and biosphere‚ as well as the solid earth.

events in each era. Did more Earth-shaping events occur early in Earth’s history or later on? Explain why. Based on my geologic time scale‚ there are three events in Precambrian Time‚ two events in Paleozoic Era‚ four events in Mesozoic Era and one event in Cenozoic Era. These events mostly occurred later on in Earth’s history. Mesozoic Era has the most events which are four out of ten events on the list‚ mean that Earth-shaping events happened more recently. Earth-shaping events occur later on
