Do you want to understand the history and forces that created our
planet and are still shaping it today? Through 100 pivotal
milestones, this gorgeous reference book and timeline shows how our
planet evolved from a disk of dust left behind by a young Sun and
how it is constantly altered by events such as earthquakes,
tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. The accessible text describes the
Earth's ever-changing layers and what researchers have learned
about the past through fossils and about the future in the search
for habitable exoplanets. At a time when human life is impacting
the Earth at a noticeable rate, Earth Sciences provides a rich
understanding of: 100 milestone facts, labeled Ponderables, which
detail pivotal breakthroughs in geology, meteorology, oceanography,
and astronomy Stunning imagery and illustrations to help clarify
key concepts An overview of core concepts in "Earth Science 101:
The Basics" and biographies of key scientists A section that
explores imponderable topics that researchers still don't fully
understand A removable, fold-out 12-page Timeline History of Earth
Science that shows every eon, era, period, epoch, and age from the
formation of the planet to the present day
