Prebiotic Earth: What Earth Was Like Before Life / First Atmosphere, Oceans, & Landmasses | GEO GIRL
Lifestyle No Comments »What was earth like before life evolved? In this video, I go over the differentiation & development of of Earth’s layers, the development of Earth’s early atmosphere & the evolution of the atmosphere’s composition toward a neutral rather than reducing state, the formation of the first oceans on Earth & the early ocean’s composition and evolution from acidic to neutral pH conditions, continental weathering due to early Earth’s acidic ocean, the ultramafic composition of Earth’s early crust, the partial melting of Earth’s first crust to form differentiated oceanic and continental crust, and the first landmass on Earth & the accretion of these continental pods to form large continents. Check out the part 2 over the first life on Earth here: https://youtu.be/HtwAwKLSlMk

Where on Earth did life begin? Explore the hydrothermal vents in Earth’s crust as simple compounds gave way to complex life.
—
Billions of years ago, simple organic compounds assembled into more complex coalitions that could grow and reproduce. At the time, Earth had widespread volcanic activity and a hostile atmosphere that made it almost devoid of a suitable environment for living things. So where did life begin? Luka Wright searches for the cradle of life that gave rise to the billions of species that inhabit our planet.
