Book Synopsis Jewels of the Early Earth by : Bruce L. Stinchcomb
Download or read book Jewels of the Early Earth written by Bruce L. Stinchcomb and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those interested in geology and paleontology, Stinchcomb, who teaches geology at Florissant Valley Community College, describes the minerals and fossils of the early earth, along with many color photos. He focuses on collectable minerals that formed early in the earth's history, especially minerals associated with the older rocks of the earth's crust. He discusses the impact of meteors, the geology of shield areas and their associated rocks and minerals, pegmatite and pegmatite minerals, early minerals and rocks associated with the formation of the atmosphere, unusual minerals linked to early limestone-like rocks, greenstone belts and their connection to the earth's gold deposits, marble and quartz, and xenoliths in igneous granite.
Book Synopsis The Encyclopedia of Early Earth by : Isabel Greenberg
Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Early Earth written by Isabel Greenberg and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated book of imaginary fables about Earth's early -- and lost -- history. Before our history began, another -- now forgotten -- civilization thrived. The people who roamed Early Earth were much like us: curious, emotional, funny, ambitious, and vulnerable. In this series of illustrated and linked tales, Isabel Greenberg chronicles the explorations of a young man as he paddles from his home in the North Pole to the South Pole. There, he meets his true love, but their romance is ill-fated. Early Earth's unusual and finicky polarity means the lovers can never touch. As intricate and richly imagined as the work of Chris Ware, and leavened with a dry wit that rivals Kate Beaton's in Hark! A Vagrant, Isabel Greenberg's debut will be a welcome addition to the thriving graphic novel genre.
Download or read book The Early Earth written by James Badro and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Early Earth: Accretion and Differentiation provides a multidisciplinary overview of the state of the art in understanding the formation and primordial evolution of the Earth. The fundamental structure of the Earth as we know it today was inherited from the initial conditions 4.56 billion years ago as a consequence of planetesimal accretion, large impacts among planetary objects, and planetary-scale differentiation. The evolution of the Earth from a molten ball of metal and magma to the tectonically active, dynamic, habitable planet that we know today is unique among the terrestrial planets, and understanding the earliest processes that led to Earth’s current state is the essence of this volume. Important results have emerged from a wide range of disciplines including cosmochemistry, geochemistry, experimental petrology, experimental and theoretical mineral physics and geodynamics. The topics in this volume include: Condensation of primitive objects in the solar nebula, planetary building blocks Early and late accretion and planetary dynamic modeling Primordial differentiation, core formation, Magma Ocean evolution and crystallization This volume will be a valuable resource for graduate students, academics, and researchers in the fields of geophysics, geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and planetary science.

Download or read book Stromatolites written by R. J. Leis and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stromatolites are among the oldest fossils on earth, the only fossils giving evidence of the first 85% of the history of life on Earth. The Arrowhead region of Minnesota, location of some of the most ancient rocks on the planet, is home to a considerable number of stromatolites. This reference imparts a basic, non-technical account along with 636 beautiful images of these most ancient of Earthly collectibles. Covering a diverse variety of stromatolites and the geologic objects that can resemble them, this book is a delight for both stromatophiles, as well as people curious about the early Earth.

Book Synopsis The Emergence of Life on Earth by : Iris Fry
Download or read book The Emergence of Life on Earth written by Iris Fry and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did life emerge on Earth? Is there life on other worlds? These questions, until recently confined to the pages of speculative essays and tabloid headlines, are now the subject of legitimate scientific research. This book presents a unique perspective--a combined historical, scientific, and philosophical analysis, which does justice to the complex nature of the subject. The book's first part offers an overview of the main ideas on the origin of life as they developed from antiquity until the twentieth century. The second, more detailed part of the book examines contemporary theories and major debates within the origin-of-life scientific community. Topics include: Aristotle and the Greek atomists' conceptions of the organism Alexander Oparin and J.B.S. Haldane's 1920s breakthrough papers Possible life on Mars?

Book Synopsis Astrobiology and Cuatro Ciénegas Basin as an Analog of Early Earth by : Valeria Souza
Download or read book Astrobiology and Cuatro Ciénegas Basin as an Analog of Early Earth written by Valeria Souza and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astrobiology not only investigates how early life took hold of our planet but also life on other planets – both in our Solar System and beyond – and their potential for habitability. The book take readers from the scars on planetary surfaces made by space rocks to the history of the Solar System narrated by those space rocks as well as exoplanets in other planetary systems. But the true question is how life arose here or elsewhere. Modern comparative genomics has revealed that Darwin was correct; a set of highly conserved genes and cellular functions indicate that all life is related by common ancestry. The Last Universal Common Ancestor or LUCA sits at the base of the Tree of Life. However, once that life took hold, it started to diversify and form complex microbial communities that are known as microbial mats and stromatolites. Due to their long evolutionary history and abundance on modern Earth, research on the biological, chemical and geological processes of stromatolite formation has provided important insights into the field of astrobiology. Many of these microbialite-containing ecosystems have been used as models for astrobiology, and NASA mission analogs including Shark Bay, Pavilion and Kelly Lakes. Modern microbialites represent natural laboratories to study primordial ecosystems and provide proxies for how life could evolve on other planets. However, few viral metagenomic studies (i.e., viromes) have been conducted in microbialites, which are not only an important part of the community but also mirror its biodiversity. This book focuses on particularly interesting sites such as Andean lake microbialites, a proxy of early life since they are characterized by very high UV light, while Alchichica and Bacalar lakes are characterized by high-salt and oligotrophic waters that nurture stromatolites. However, it is only the oasis of Cuatro Ciénegas Basin in México that stored past life in its marine sediments of the Sierra de San Marcos. This particular Sierra has a magmatic pouch that moves the deep aquifer to the surface in a cycle of sun drenched life and back to the depths of the magmatic life in an ancient cycle that now is broken by the overexploitation of the surface water as well as the deep aquifer in order to irrigate alfalfa in the desert. The anthropocene, the era of human folly, is killing this unique time machine and with it the memory of the planet.
