What will the world look like in 135 million years from now?
Plate tectonics isn’t just about supercontinents forming, it’s also about ocean basins opening and closing. Right now, the Pacific Basin is closing. If you look at the Pacfic Plate, you’ll notice that it’s subducting on three(-ish) sides. So the North American Plate and the Eurasian Plate seem to be pivoting toward each other. The Atlantic Basin is still opening at this point, but basins tend to close again. Once subduction begins on the eastern side of North American and/or on the western side of Africa/Eurasia, that basin will begin to close again.I’ve seen some models that close the Pacific Basin and create an inland sea, and I’ve seen models that go past that point and re-open a basin on the Western side of North America and close the Atlantic Basin. All of that is possible as long as global plate tectonics continue, probably with some surprises along the way like the way India plowed into Asia.In my opinion, the big question is what we should name the new supercontinent. I vote for Squishimundo. But no one ever listens to me.The Opening and Closing of an Ocean Basin
What will the world be like in millions of years?
It's difficult to answer in large part evolution is not a directed process. There is no finish line that we are headed towards and we'll know when we get there. Evolution is a set of random genetic mutations, and if those mutations provide an advantage in the environment, then it will persist. However, humans in most developed nations when faced with an obstacle, just change the environment. Eliminate air conditioning and Texas loses half it's population due to a mass exodus. The USAs second largest metro area (LA) is in an area that is geologically classified as desert. Humans without clothes would have trouble lasting all summer in Minnesota - you can forget about winter.I can say that in developed countries there are some factors that we could move in a direction toward if we don't change. Storing fat made sense when we were hunter gatherers. Over time, we could lose some of that ability and our digestive systems become less efficient. Due to the prevalence of processed foods and treated drinking water we would be exposed less to the small animals and worms, and more exposed to the germs on keyboards and doorknobs (Both will likely cease to exist in a star trek future in a few centuries). That means fewer colds but more sensitivity to parasites like worms. Racial differences will cease to exist within a few hundred years. Our vision will become more accustomed to staring at bright screens and less accustomed to seeing outside at night. Since we all wear shoes now, don't be surprised if you lose that pinky toe that you never use. Finally, now that developed nations have industrialized food production, don't be surprised if our brain to body size ratio increased even more. The evolutionary record suggests that when omnivores have access to more meat and have it consistently over generations, our brains get bigger relative to our body size.
If there was a planet at 65 million light years from Earth with a huge telescope and smart life; could they see dinosaurs? And the same for smaller distances. Could it be like watching our past?
The light on the earth that left 65 million years ago headed for that planet should be reaching it "now", from our relative point of view. But keep in mind the speed of light is the speed limit of "now", there is no universal clock that allows for any concept of simultaneity of events when two place are separated by such a distance. The light SHOULD have gotten there by now, but 65 million years is a long time, there could have been a supernova right between us in that time period that blocked all of the dinosaur light, we cannot know what is happening "now", we cannot have that information, on something so far away, until at least 65 million years from now, when the fastest signal with information possible comes back from them saying "Gosh what big lizards you have".However, to address your question, yes that planet looking at earth with sufficiently powered telescopes will NOT be seeing Survivor on TV, they would see the light that left the earth from 65 million years ago.As for "watching the past", keep in mind we see the sun from what happened to it 8 minutes ago from our point of view, 45 minutes for Jupiter, and we see the light from what was happening in the Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million years "ago" (1/30 as far as your hypothetical planet! That is one POWERFUL telescope they have.).
Distance of moon to earth 300 million years ago?
So, today, the moon is moving outward at about 1 1/2" per year. The moon is about 40 inches further out today than when Neil Armstrong first set foot upon it in 1969. Assuming a constant rate, let's guess that it would be 300,000,000y x 1.5inches = 450,000,000 inches. That's about 37,500,000 feet, or about 7,100 miles closer. The moon can vary in it's orbit by up to 50,000 miles, depending on gravitational effects of the Sun, Earth, and it's slightly elliptical route, so 7,100 miles isn't a *huge* difference, when you consider that it's average distance is about 238,000 miles. The math says it would be about 3% closer to Earth, so it would've appeared about 3% larger.
"You look a million dollars"?
It means you look great! It's an idiomatic expression which means that you look great. Whoever told you that, you should thank him or her..^^
What happened 20 million years ago?
It was a time in Earth’s Prehistory known as the Miocene Epoch. Which followed the Oligocene Epoch and is followed by the Pliocene Epoch.The earth went from the Oligocene through the Miocene and into the Pliocene, with the climate slowly cooling towards a series of ice ages. The Miocene boundaries are not marked by a single distinct global event but consist rather of regional boundaries between the warmer Oligocene and the cooler Pliocene.The apes arose and diversified during the Miocene, becoming widespread in the Old World. By the end of this epoch, the ancestors of humans had split away from the ancestors of the chimpanzees to follow their own evolutionary path. As in the Oligocene before it, grasslands continued to expand and forests to dwindle in extent. In the Miocene seas, kelp forests made their first appearance and soon became one of Earth's most productive ecosystems.The plants and animals of the Miocene were fairly modern. Mammals and birds were well-established. Whales, seals, and kelp spread.Continents continued to drift toward their present positions. Of the modern geologic features, only the land bridge between South America and North America was absent, although South America was approaching the western subduction zone in the Pacific Ocean, causing both the rise of the Andes and a southward extension of the Meso-American peninsula.Mountain building took place in western North America, Europe and East Africa. Both continental and marine Miocene deposits are common worldwide with marine outcrops common near modern shorelines. Well studied continental exposures occur in the North American Great Plains and in Argentina.India continued to collide with Asia, creating dramatic new mountain ranges. The Tethys Seaway continued to shrink and then disappeared as Africa collided with Eurasia in the Turkish - Arabian region between 19 and 12 million years ago. The subsequent uplift of mountains in the western Mediterranean region and a global fall in sea levels combined to cause a temporary drying up of the Mediterranean Sea (known as the Messinian salinity crisis) near the end of the Miocene.The global trend was towards increasing aridity caused primarily by global cooling reducing the ability of the atmosphere to absorb moisture. Uplift of East Africa in the late Miocene was partly responsible for the shrinking of tropical rainforests in that region, and Australia got drier as it entered a zone of low rainfall in the Late Miocene.
250 million'' miles to Earth' which planet did that monster come from.?
Yikes!! Idk but we need the Kracken now matey!! :O
Did plants look as different as animals did 65 million years ago?
65 million years ago is right after the End-Cretaceous mass extinction. Plants seemed to have been less affected by this then animals, although it was devastating for both. They would have looked different on a species and genus level, but they would be recognizable on the family level to most observant botanists, so they certainly looked different, but not ‘prehistoric looking’ or ‘dinosaur looking’ for the most part.Almost all modern groups were represented and most ancient groups were declining or extinct.The predominant groups and communities would have looked different , with cycads notably being far more abundant and diverse where they grew before the end of the Cretaceous. Cycads are still extant, but they are now uncommon in the wild and many are endangered from human activities.Many unique and beautiful plant taxa unlike anything today have been lost forever. If they were still around they would certainly be popular and used as show pieces in gardens.The unique Bennetitales had just gone extinct c. 66 million years ago. No one is exactly sure what they were.The striking Lepidodendrons were already extinct about 300 million years ago.Some relict ‘prehistoric looking’ plants are still around, such as Ginko biloba and Welwitschia mirabilis. Gymnosperms, Ferns, and Mosses are all very old groups that are still extant today.65 million yeaes ago is not that long ago in Earth’s evolutionary history. The ‘sea scorpions’ and Trilobites had already gone extinct c. 250 million years ago.Eurypterid - WikipediaTrilobite - WikipediaIf you went back in time much further back to the Carboniferous or Devonian periods, then they certainly looked different. There are many old groups that are extinct or that changed dramatically. They would still look like plants, but would look odd by today’s standard.The fossil record is very incomplete, especially for plants. It is still unknown where, when, and how flowing plants evolved. Flowering plants are recent on the evolutionary scale and include almost all plants people are familiar with and all economically important plants. Agriculture is practically totally dependent on angiosperms.Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event - WikipediaEvolutionary history of plants - WikipediaPoaceae - WikipediaTimeline of plant evolution - WikipediaCycads are not “living fossils” from Dinosaur AgeBennettitales - WikipediaLepidodendron - WikipediaWelwitschia - WikipediaFlowering plant - Wikipedia
