1 A brief history of the Earth!
2 The Geologic Time Scale
3 Age of the Earth
4 Hadean Eon
5 Hadean Eon ( Gyrs) Hell on Earth: Gyrs formation of Moon 4.5 Gyrs - magma ocean, differentiation of core, mantle and crust 4.4 Gyrs earliest dated zircons 4.03 Gyrs earliest dated whole rock Gyrs - Heavy bombardment of meteors and comets would have pulverized or re-melted any solid rock crust, destroyed any early oceans or atmosphere Gyrs After bombardment land masses and oceans developed very quickly (sedimentary rocks dated to 3850 Myrs)
6 Archean Eon ( Gyrs)
7 Archean Eon ( Gyrs) A time of great change: - Oceans continued to form which removed H 2 O and CO 2 (by dissolution) leaving N 2 as main gas in atmosphere - Amount of continental crust rapidly increased from 0 to 80% of today s area - Plate tectonics began probably towards end of Archean - Weathering of new crust created ocean salinity - First life evolved and had colonized shallow and deep oceans by end of Archean - Very simple, prokaryotic (no nucleus), photosynthetic organisms which released O 2 to environment, including atmosphere - Organisms limited to fermentation rather than respiration to release energy - less efficient so cells were small and simple - Built structures known as stromatolites

9 What do we need to make life? And where would we get it?
10 Origin of life on Earth: What we know Life probably developed on Earth ~3.5 billion years ago Evidence? Earliest organism probably even simpler than bacteria 3 things needed for this organism to develop: Chemosynthesis = synthesis of small organic molecules e.g. amino acids Biosynthesis = combination of small organic molecules into larger, more complex molecules e.g. proteins Development of chemical processes needed for replication e.g. DNA and RNA
11 Origin of life on Earth: Possible mechanisms Not known how or where life originated.
12 Origin of life on Earth: Possible mechanisms Not known how or where life originated. 1. Primordial soup - products of chemosynthesis collected in surface waters and combine to form larger molecules due to lightening or meteor/comet impacts
13 Origin of life on Earth: Possible mechanisms Not known how or where life originated. 2. Black smokers (deep-sea hydrothermal vents) - organic molecules formed on surfaces of mineral grains, became concentrated and more complex reactions began to occur
14 Origin of life on Earth: Possible mechanisms Not known how or where life originated. 3. Organic molecules from space (panspermia!) - many organic molecules found in space but where does energy come from and how would the molecules survive the conditions of space
15 Proterozoic (2.5 Gyrs 542 Myrs) Transition to the modern world: - Continental crust continued to form but at a slower rate - Collisions resulted in formation of large stable continents (cratons) that still exist today in places) - At Myrs Rodinia formed
16 Proterozoic (2.5 Gyrs 542 Myrs) Transition to the modern world: - Life continued to evolve and become more complex from prokaryotic to eukaryotic ( Gyrs) - Why? Because of atmospheric oxygen increases which allowed respiration and large, more complex cells - Similar pattern occurred again at 750 Myrs perhaps multicellular creatures
17
18 Proterozoic (2.5 Gyrs 542 Myrs) Transition to the modern world: - Very radical climate changes at the end of the Proterozoic Snowball Earth - Subsequently extremely rapid evolution (known as Ediacaran fauna)
19 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) ~530 Myrs Cambrian explosion Major increase in organism diversity Introduction of internal and external skeletons Why did this explosion occur? Sexual reproduction? Continued buildup of O 2 allowed formation of carbonate skeletons?
20 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) ~500 million years ago Life left oceans to develop on land For life to exist on land need:
21 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) ~500 million years ago Life left oceans to develop on land For life to exist on land need: Structural support Ability to transfer water within the organism and keep from dehydrating Ability to exchange gases with air instead of water Moist environment for reproductive system Protection from UV radiation
22 The Geologic Time Scale
23 Summary - Life on land: Plants Evolved from green algae Earliest plants were seedless, reproduced using spores e.g. ferns Gymnosperms evolved seeds which allowed plants to spread to more diverse habitats e.g. conifers Angiosperms developed flowers to attract pollinators, increasing their reproductive success
24 Summary - Life on land: Insects Ocean arthropods were first animals to move to land, probably in the form of centipedes and millipedes Well suited to the land environment due to their exoskeletons and small size Insects are the most diverse and numerous animal group, despite their simple vascular systems
25 Summary - Life on land: Vertebrates First animals with backbones were fish. Later moved onto the land because their fins could act as limbs and existing vascular system Evolved into amphibians limited to moist environments Amphibians reptiles mammals and birds Mammals so successful due to: Mudskipper amphibious fish
26 Summary - Life on land: Vertebrates First animals with backbones were fish. Later moved onto the land because their fins could act as limbs and existing vascular system Evolved into amphibians limited to moist environments Amphibians reptiles mammals and birds Mammals so successful due to: More complex brain Faster metabolism Reproductive strategies Mudskipper amphibious fish

29 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Over time new species evolve while others become extinct. Change in the number of species = origination rate - extinction rate Background extinction rates = ~15 species per year (different in past) But extinction rates can increase due to various factors If enough species become extinct over a period of time we call this a mass extinction
30 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Mass extinctions have been common through Earth history The Big 5 mass extinctions
31 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes What do you think could cause a mass extinction event? (Can you think of at least 4?)
32 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes What are they? Impacts of large meteorites or comets Possible effects? Blast wave igniting forest fires, megatsunamis, shockwaves leading to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, dust blasted into atmosphere causing 1) global cooling and reduction in photosynthesis (also known as nuclear winter) and 2) acid rain and rapid greenhouse effect How to identify in geological record? Impact crater, presence of unusual elements in sediments around the world e.g. iridium, shocked quartz, and tektites Duration very fast!!
33 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes 1. Impact Events What are they? Impacts of large meteorites or comets Possible effects? Blast wave igniting forest fires, megatsunamis, shockwaves leading to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, dust blasted into atmosphere causing 1) global cooling and reduction in photosynthesis (also known as nuclear winter) and 2) acid rain and rapid greenhouse effect How to identify in geological record? Impact crater, presence of unusual elements in sediments around the world e.g. iridium, shocked quartz, and tektites Duration very fast!!
34 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes
35 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes Tunguska, Siberia 1908 Probably 10m meteor/comet fragment exploded 5-10km above surface of Earth Equivalent to 5-30 Megatons (1000 x Hiroshima bomb) Flattened 770 square miles of trees (80 million) trees)
36 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes 2. Volcanism (flood basalt eruptions) What are they? Very large scale volcanic activity on land or ocean, can cover greater than 100,000 km 2 with up to 10 km thick lava flows Possible effects? Produce 1) dust and particulate aerosols block light so collapse food chains and cause cooling, 2) emit sulfur oxides leading to acid rain, 3) emit CO2 leading to greenhouse effect and global warming. Can lead to dramatic reduction in oxygen in ocean (because water warmer and due to increased nutrient input leading to more primary productivity) How to identify in geological record? Large volumes of lava flows in a relatively short time Duration usually sporadic for less than 1 million years
37 Large Igneous Provinces Very large accumulations of igneous rocks (greater than 100,000 km 2 ) in a short geological time (few million years or less)
38 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes 3. Sea level falls What are they? Sea level falls as a result of glaciation or due to plate tectonic processes. Possible effects? Rapid reduction of productive shallow water habitats. How to identify in geological record? By looking at sequences of sediment along the edges of continents and by looking for evidence of glaciation on land or reconstructions of plate tectonic activity. Duration thousands to hundreds of thousands of years
39 Mass Extinctions: Possible Causes 4. Significant rapid climate changes What are they? Significant changes in global climate on small enough timescales that animals and/or plants do not have time to adapt Possible effects? Rapid change in types of habitat and ecological niches. Also changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation contribute to rapid changes in types of habitat. Initial warming can lead to release of methane from ocean sediments which leads to further rapid warming and low ocean oxygen levels. Cooling and glaciation remove available land area and lower sea level. How to identify in geological record? Changes in sediment type. Also isotopes can provide information about the amount of warming/cooling and changes in carbon cycle/storage Duration tens of thousands to millions of years
40 How do we work out the cause of a mass extinction? Our proposed cause of a mass extinction has to: Explain which species lost and survived Explain pattern of loss through time Based on events or processes that we can show happened Just like a detective at a crime scene, we have to identify what happened, when it happened, propose a theory to explain why it happened and search for evidence to prove or disprove the theory
41 Question What might have caused the mass extinction at 65 Myrs which killed the dinosaurs? a) Impact event b) Flood volcanism c) Sea level fall d) Climate change e) Some combination of the above
42 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Cambrian Ordovican ( Myrs) Paleogeography Rodinia was breaking up creating passive margins, sea level was high so large shallow seas but cooled at end of Ordovician Life restricted to the oceans but at the end of the Ordovician land plants began to colonize shores
43 Ordovician-Silurian Late Devonian Permian-Triassic Triassic-Jurassic Cretaceous-Paleogene Earth history When was it and how long did it take? What died out and what survived? What are the possible causes and what evidence is there in the geological record for what happened? Are there any mysteries still?
44 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Silurian Devonian ( Myrs) Paleogeography climate warmed, sea level high so large shallow seas again, orogeny occurring Life new species evolved to fill gaps created by mass extinction. First woody plants so grew larger and supported spiders, insects and crustaceans. First amphibians on land with lungs
45 Ordovician-Silurian Late Devonian Permian-Triassic Triassic-Jurassic Cretaceous-Paleogene Earth history When was it and how long did it take? What died out and what survived? What are the possible causes and what evidence is there in the geological record for what happened? Are there any mysteries still?
46 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Carboniferous Permian ( Myrs) Paleogeography climate cooled, sea level fell, continents near the Equator so tropical conditions, increased collisions resulted in formed supercontinent Pangaea Life large coal swamps with giant insects and spiders. First conifer trees. Amphibians then reptiles inhabited land. Reptiles produced eggs with shells allowing them to live further from water
47 Ordovician-Silurian Late Devonian Permian-Triassic Triassic-Jurassic Cretaceous-Paleogene Earth history When was it and how long did it take? What died out and what survived? What are the possible causes and what evidence is there in the geological record for what happened? Are there any mysteries still?
48 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Triassic ( Myrs) Paleogeography Pangaea rifted apart and Atlantic Ocean began to form, warm climate then cooled Life new varieties of life evolved to replace those lost in mass extinction. Reptiles and corals in ocean, conifer trees and reptiles diversified and true dinosaurs appeared. First ancestors of mammals
49 Ordovician-Silurian Late Devonian Permian-Triassic Triassic-Jurassic Cretaceous-Paleogene Earth history When was it and how long did it take? What died out and what survived? What are the possible causes and what evidence is there in the geological record for what happened? Are there any mysteries still?
50 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Jurassic-Cretaceous ( Myrs) Paleogeography climate warmed, sea level very high so large shallow seas, break up of Pangaea continued, fast sea floor spreading, active mantle plumes Life modern fish appeared. Large reptiles and turtles in ocean. Angiosperms (flowering plants) developed and competed with conifers. Dinosaurs ruled the world! Mammals diversified but remained small and rat-like.
51 Ordovician-Silurian Late Devonian Permian-Triassic Triassic-Jurassic Cretaceous-Paleogene Earth history When was it and how long did it take? What died out and what survived? What are the possible causes and what evidence is there in the geological record for what happened? Are there any mysteries still?
52 Phanerozoic (542 Myrs today) Paleogene to Recent (65 Myrs to today) Paleogeography climate gradually cooled allowing large ice sheets to form, continents moved to their current positions and generated Himalayas, Alps etc. Life After mass extinction forests of angiosperms and gymnosperms (conifers) quickly grew back. Birds and mammals diversified into niches previously occupied by dinosaurs. First human-like primate at 4Myrs. Loss of giant mammals ~10 kyrs BP.
53 A 6 th Mass Extinction Today? Humans activities are resulting in loss of biodiversity mostly due to: Hunting/over-harvesting Deforestation and desertification (habitat loss) Pollution Introduced/exotic species Maybe climate change in future? Background extinction rate before humans = ~ 15 per year Today, in tropical forest extinction rate = ~ 27,000 per year
54 Question Which species do you think would be least susceptible to going extinct? Why? A C B D
55 Future of life? What things do we have to think about?
56 Future of life? What things do we have to think about? Environment controlled by plate tectonics, atmosphere composition, climate i.e. likely niches and habitats What things will be left after the current extinction event? How quickly the process of evolution will change a species?
