Evolution

For billions of years, the Earth has been circling the Sun. During this time it has cooled from a white hot ball of molten rock to a place where the ultimate form of life has developed as we know it. All creatures have lived and continue to live a precarious existence on the outer tectonic plates of a small and insignificant world that is still molten inside some four point six billion years after the creation of the Solar System.

This small spark of the cosmos has finally produced humans, creatures that have evolved to understand and appreciate their own evolutionary process. 

Evolution is not just a narrative of the Earths transformations and the way life has adapted and metamorphosed to suit these changes. Evolutionary investigations can provide answers to our presence on this planet, how we came to be, how conditions have moulded all living creatures to fit into the earth surface environment. 

An increasing understanding of the fossil record can lead to a greater comprehension of evolution. From the smallest single celled algae to the latest of the humanoids. Life and the planet have constantly evolved over thousands of millions of years to ultimately produce us, homo sapiens, a species that can look introspectively at themselves, laugh, think complicated and intricate problems through and develop plans and strategies.

Deposition and Erosion 
The surface of Earth undergoes the geological processes of deposition and erosion. This has influenced the way life has evolved and transformed or mutated. The planet has produced new continents, mountain ranges and oceans, while old land masses decayed and seas and oceans dried up.
Tectonic plate movement has shifted the continents around the globe and vast deposits of lava laid down from volcanism have all had an effect on the way life and the planet has evolved.
