Theory of the Earth is a publication by James Hutton which laid the foundations for geology. [1] [2] In it he showed that the Earth is the product of natural forces.What could be seen happening today, over long periods of time, could produce what we see in the rocks.
Blue light is scattered more than other wavelengths by the gases in the atmosphere, surrounding Earth in a visibly blue layer at the stratosphere, above the clouds of the troposphere, when seen from space on board the ISS at an altitude of 335 km (208 mi) (the Moon is visible as a crescent in the far background).

Earth's inner core is the innermost geologic layer of the planet Earth.It is primarily a solid ball with a radius of about 1,220 km (760 mi), which is about 20% of Earth's radius or 70% of the Moon's radius.
Humans have processed common salt (sodium chloride) for over 8000 years, using it first as a food seasoning and preservative, and now also in manufacturing, agriculture, water conditioning, for de-icing roads, and many other uses. [83] Many salts are so widely used in society that they go by common names unrelated to their chemical identity.
Tierra (computer simulation), a computer simulation of life by the ecologist Thomas S. Ray Tierra Entertainment, now known as AGD Interactive , a non-profit game company specializing in remakes of classic adventure games by Sierra Entertainment
Land is often defined as the solid, dry surface of Earth. [1] The word land may also collectively refer the collective natural resources of Earth, [2] including its land cover, rivers, shallow lakes, its biosphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere (troposphere), groundwater reserves, and the physical results of human activity on land, such as architecture and agriculture.
