Weather and climate intro:4/13/2021
This week my classmates and I were able to use virtual resources in order to further our understanding on earths physical changes throughout the decades. By using the Smithsonian website (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/travel-through-deep-time-interactive-earth-180952886/) I was able to see and read about earths evolvement. Below I have summarized some of the information I learned today. Haden earth about 4 billion years ago: At this point in time the earth was extremely hot and had no water.

Below is an example of what scientists believe earth looked like during this time. Late Archean to Early Proterozoic about 2 billion years ago: At this point in time oceans and continents began to form, but there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. Due to the intense radiation from the sun it is unlikely that life was thriving on our planet. Ho
