Early Signs Of Life on Earth

Early  Signs  Of  Life͍  On  Earth⤘

            For almost a thousand million years ago after the earth formation, there was no life on Earth. The first simple see-dwelling organic structures appeared about 3,500 million years ago . Scientist say that they may have formed when certain chemical molecules were joined together. Prokaryotes, single celled micro organisms such as blue green algae, were able to photosynthesize and thus produce Oxygen.
     
       
              A thousand million years later, sufficient oxygen had built up in the Earth's atmosphere to allow multicellular organisms to proliferate in the precambrian seas (before 5
70 million years ago). Soft-bodied jellyfish,corals, and seaworms flourished about 700 million years ago. Trilobites, the first animals with hard body frames, developed during the cambrian period(570-510 million years ago).
     

          However it was not until the beginning of the Devonian
period(409-363 million years ago) that early land plants such as Asteroxylon ,formed a water retaining cuticle, which ended their dependence on an aquatic environment. About 360 million years ago, the first amphibians crawled onto the land, although they probably still returned to the water to lay their soft eggs.



         By the time the first reptiles and synapids appeared late in the carboniferous, animals with backbones had become fully independent of water.and then slowly all the creatures started evolving on earth and slowly the transformation on the Earth took place.

Facts about DEATH

 DEATH➽         Like birth, death too is a part of our life. When we think about it, our mind conjures up images of cemeteries and old people. But death can also come to younger people, through illness or accidents. The way bereavement is handled differs from person to person, and from culture to culture. Many also argue in favour of euthanasia, or mercy,killing,in a situation where a person is in a permanent state of coma or in extreme pain and agony due to an incurable disease.   What happens when people become old ❓     People get wrinkles on the skin and grey hair when they grew old.The actual ageing process takes place inside the body. The efficiency of the body cells goes down over the years.At some point of time,muscles start shrinking,sense organs like eye and ear grow weak,and the body's general energy level dips.Many old people appear confused;others remain alert till the end. In some cultures,old people take leave ...

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

Antilock Braking System (ABS)             The Antilock Braking System (ABS) was designed by Frenchman Gabriel Voisin (1880-1973),originally as a way of preventing planes from swerving on landing. He first installed a system to keep airplane brakes from locking up 1920. Several decades later, after limited success with similar systems in cars a breakthrough came in 1978, when Mercedes-Benz announced the installation of electronic ABS in its S-Class car.              Theoretically, ABS can stop a serious car accident from occurring by allowing a driver to maintain control in slippery conditions or during an emergency stop. On an icy road, a car's wheels can lock up, sending the vehicle to spin. In cold cars that did not have ABS, drivers had to try to pump the brakes to prevent this. With ABS, the brakes are automatically pumped-the system senses the change in condition and alters the brake fluid pressure accordin...

Radar

Radar➨                  In 1935,with hostilities looming in Europe,the British government asked Scottish physicist Robert Watson Watt to develop a personnel-destroying "death ray" that could harm the opposition. Watson Watt demonstrated that this was an impossible ambition. However, he theorized that a radio wave could be sent to bounce against a moving object and monitoring its travel could then provide information  about the target, such as its speed,direction of travel and altitude.                     This could also determine the distance from the transmitter of fixed objects. A demonstration won favor with the government, and Watson-Watt subsequently gave the technology the name Radar(Radio detection and ranging).           Military Radar                      By the beginning of...
