Life Harnessing the Power of Sun Light

  • Earth's main source of energy is The Sun.
  • Early microorganisms evolved to start the process of photosynthesis.

The Great Oxidation Event

  • In the beginning of Earth's history there was very little oxygen in the air.
  • Bactria started to harness sunlight to make sugar from carbon dioxide, which made oxygen, and the Bactria would give the oxygen off as waste.

  • Plate tectonics started around 3 billion years ago.
  • Plate tectonics is when two plates of rocks ploughs under another to be melted under the earth's crust.
