Document Summary
Outline: structure of the earth, minerals and rocks. Introduction to geomorphology: 5% of the gdp is used to manage invasive species; no native horse species in canada causes different types of erosion harming the environment, no native predator, so how do you control their population. There are hunting season to control it nut nobody wants to kill a horse: when population is level out you need to figure out how to raise it, precipitation and rising temperature is resulting in more invasive species. Early earth: the earth is thought to have formed roughly 4. 6 billion years ago. It is thought to have formed from a disk of particles and grains that condensed and then pulled together by gravitational attraction until it became massive enough to eventually become planet sized.
