Cyanobacteria, forming atmosphere
Earliest life forms (such as ___) were influenced by the climates produced by the ______ ______ and oceans of Earth
Volcanic Activity, extremely difficult, did not
During the Precambrian time ____ ____ was one of the most natural events but lava flows, ash clouds in the atmosphere, and heat made conditions for life forms ________. Those simple life forms did/did not survive.
True
True or False: Very explosive volcanic activity can send ash and dusty high into the atmosphere where it is carried great distances around the Earth
False: the sun CAN be blocked and it CAN disrupt many of Earth's processes
True or False and what makes the sentence true: The sun can not be blocked for long periods of time. This violent type of activity can not disrupt many of Earth's processes and ultimately the life forms that depend on those processes.
