Summary Introduction
To review:
The one that shows more abundance, CO2 or O2.
Introduction:
4.6 billion years ago, the earth emerged in the Milky Way galaxy. The earth was hit regularly by asteroids. The phenomena started to decrease and stopped after 700 million years. The earth, then, became suitable for life forms as the impacts of the asteroids were reduced. The first life form was present around 3 billion years ago.

The Miller-Urey experiment simulated compounds present in the atmosphere of early Earth, lightning, and the evaporation and condensation of atmospheric water. What other information about the conditions on Earth during this time period would you want to know to improve the experiment
In school, students tend to do a lot of activities, research, and assignments in all subjects. Once the deadline is near, they tend to work UNDER PRESSURE. They get easily mad and complain about everything. Why do you think this thing happen? How will you relate this scenario to the earth's interior that is also under pressure?
Answer the following questions, explain your answers by citing your references and evidences (make your answer as brief as possible and underline the key words/ phrases)
At present, a significant increase in greenhouse gases and atmospheric temperature is being felt. How will this affect the activities of plants, animals, microorganisms, etc. in terms of photosynthesis? (recall topic on enzymes)
If energy is never destroyed, why do we “run out of energy” at the end of a race?

Curious to know the age of the fossil, she takes the rock to a lab. The lab determines the amount of rubidium (Rb) and strontium (Sr) in the rock. The scientist is familiar with radiometric dating and knows that she can now calculate the age of the rock, 1, using an isochron. The Rb-Sr isochron equation is 87. Rb. [edr – 1] 86 °Sr. 87 87 Sro 86 Sro 86 Sr. 87. Rb 3.807 and 89.60. In a published table, she finds that Using the lab's values, she calculates the isotope ratios as 86 Sr. 87 = 0.7129. She also finds that the decay constant, 86 the ratio of strontium-87 to strontium-86 at the formation of the rock was Sro 2, for rubidium-87 is 1.42 x 10-11. Use the equation and provided data to calculate t. Put your answer in scientific notation and round to the nearest tenth. years x10 What is the approximate age of the rock in billions of years?
