Oxygen makes up just 21 percent of the air we breathe. Carbon dioxide, argon, ozone, water vapor and other gasses make up a tiny portion of it, as little as 1 percent. These gasses probably came from several processes as the Earth evolved and grew as a planet. But some scientists believe that the Earth's atmosphere would never have contained the oxygen we need without plants. Science Projects.

For his 50th birthday, John Parr Snyder’s wife bought him a special gift: a ticket to “The Changing World of Geodetic Science,” a cartography convention in Columbus, Ohio. Geodesy, an esoteric branch of geography studying the shape of the earth, had been one of Snyder’s lifelong hobbies. As a keynote, the 1976 conference featured a speech from Alden Partridge Colvocoresses, decorated World War II hero and head of the USGS’s national mapping program.

Reconstructed ancient ocean reveals secrets about the origin of life. Researchers from the University of Cambridge have published details about how the first organisms on Earth could have become metabolically active.
