              • Heavier Elements to Iron
      • 5,000 Million Years Old
        • Ages
          • 4,500 Million Years Old
          • Earth
            • 5,000 million years
          • Sun
            • 5,000 millin years
          • Universe
            • 14,000 million years
    • The Milky Way Galaxy
      • 100 000 000 000 stars
      • Distance
        • Light Years
          • The distance light travels through a vacuum in one year
          • Light Travels at 300 000 km/s
        • Parallax
          • Shift in star position
            • Only works fro close stars
              • Closer a star is the more it appear to moves
        • Redshift
          • Evidence for and Expanding Universe
            • The Big Bang Theory
          • The more distant a galaxy is, the faster it is recedeing
        • Observing
  • 8 Planets
    • Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
      • Inner Planets - Mercury - Mars
        • Earth
          • 4,500 Million Years Old
          • The Changing Earth
            • Fossils
              • Act as time markers
              • Rock is being constantly recycled
                • The Rock Cycle
                  • Particles are eroded by the sea or rivers
                    • They settle as sediment
                      • Compression crushes it into sedimentary rock
                        • This can be pushed back up to the surface
                        • Under heat and pressure it changes into metamorphic rock
                          • More intense heat causes it top melt and erupt from volcanoes
                            • This then solidifies as Igneous Rock

              • Continental Drift
                • Proposed by Wegener at the beginning of the 20th century
                  • Evidence he had
                    • Common Rocks and Fossils

                            • Float on the Mantle
                              • A few cm per year
