Film Viewing- Earth: Making of the Planet Earth

Direction: Complete the following statement by providing the missing terms.

The collision of the proto-Earth (1) ____________(same size as Mars) lead to the birth of the moon and changes in
the planet.

3.9 billion years ago, a hail of (2) __________ attack the Earth. Inside these celestial bodies are crystals that look like
grains of salt and inside these crystals are minute droplets of (3) __________. They infiltrate the atmosphere and hits
the surface of the Earth. The meteorites reached the surface of the planet and becomes the source of the main
component of the aquatic life.

3.5 billion years ago, in a shallow oceans lies (4) _____________ growing out of the sea bed. These are considered as
colonies of living bacteria that performs (5) _______________ to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose as
for food production thus releasing the by-product (6) ________________ which is essential for all organisms.

Over 400 million years, due to tectonic plate activities plates were moved to form a vast supercontinent called

(7) __________.

650 million years ago, is the start of (8) _______________, which considered to be the longest and coldest ice age in
our planet.

While the planet was frozen, the sun’s ultraviolet rays penetrate the atmosphere. The UV rays reacted with water
molecules in the ice to produce (9) _______________________, a chemical that rich in oxygen.

540 million years ago, there are plants scattered on the sea floor and the primitive bacteria in the oceans evolved to

Form a new generation of complex multi-celled organisms called (10) _____________.

The (11) ____________ period refers to the state of the planet where there is an increase in oxygen levels which
allowed the creatures to grow larger and develop bony skeletons; there are worms, sponges, and trilobites.

(12) ______________ is considered to be a monster in the ocean which is two feet long in size with large eyes, razor
sharp teeth and grasping limbs and a predator of trilobites.

(13) ____________ is the first organism with spine which in an inch and a half long in size.

460 million years ago, as the planets continue to move, the level of oxygen is almost similar as of today. 30 miles up
where the sun rays enters the Earth atmosphere oxygen meets the sun’s radiation that forms the (14) ___________
which will be thicker and prevents more radiation from reaching the Earth’s surface.

375million years ago, a new species called (15) _____________ lives in the water which is considered as a strange
fish having its neck to raise itself up and its fins as legs allowing it to move out of water and reside on land.

(16) __________ is an insect the size of an eagle, its legs have evolved into wings extending the dragon fly’s hunting
territory over a vast area.

Early species prefer to lay their eggs in the water except for (17) _____________ (reptile); a lizard-like creature which
prefers land for egg-laying processes as its eggs contain all the water and nutrients that the developing fetus needs.

300 million years ago, dead plants matters build up and decays into soggy eggs layers; as the rocks covers these
layers heat from Earth’s core and pressure from the overlying rocks transforms these layers seems of

(18) ____________ 250 million years ago, a herd of creatures, (19) ___________ which are distant relatives of turtles
(plant-eaters) and (20) _______________ which are considered as perfectly engineered pre-historic killing machines
(carnivores) with saber teeth graze the Siberian plains. (21) _____________ refers to a massive plume of mantle rises
up from deep inside the Earth, and pushes molten rock out through fissures in the Earth’s crust which cause the
death of early terrestrial creatures. This phenomena leads to (22) ________________ which is the greatest mass
extinction that ever happened in the planet Earth.

During the greatest mass extinction, ashes from Siberian eruptions burns and suffocates the animals in other region
thus killing them. Sulfur dioxide from eruptions fills the atmosphere. As it rains, the gas turns into (23) ___________
and burns everything it falls on leading to a global disaster.

Bubbles of (24) ______________, a greenhouse gas which is at least twenty times deadlier than carbon dioxide, are
released from the sea bed to the atmosphere causing an increase in temperature of the planet which is 105 degrees
hotter than the temperature before the Siberian eruptions.

200 million years ago, (25) _____________ which a supercontinent formed after the greatest mass extinction
stretches from pole to pole which becomes the place for the domination of dinosaurs. Temperature stabilizes, acid
rain neutralizes and vegetation returns.

(26) _____________ are species that evolved from the reptiles that survived the massive extinction being 15 feet tall
making them slow and vulnerable and are usually prey of carnivorous organisms. (27) _____________ are small but
fast species considered to be predators.

190 million years ago, due to tectonic plates activities, supercontinent tears apart. A vast slab of land breaks away
forming a chasm which filled by a new ocean called the (28) _____________ which will be the Middle East in the
current time. Dead fishes and plankton carpet the ocean floor, over the next ten million years, rocks and heat will
bury the organisms thus forming (29)___________.

New oceans, ocean floor, volcanoes and continents are formed. (30) _________, which reptiles ancestors lived on
land, due to planet’s changes becomes aquatic and lives in the Atlantic Ocean. They are 20 feet long travels 25 miles
per hour and considered to be the oceans fastest creature and the most efficient predator. It rules the oceans for 50
million years. But these organisms becomes prey to (31) ______________ a species longer than a bus which jaws are
8 times powerful than the great white shark having teeth which are 12 inches long.

The extinction of the dinosaurs is believed to be caused by an (32) ____________ which bigger than the Mt. Everest
and goes straight to the gulf of Mexico.

47 million years ago, a lake in Germany stands as the perfect place for mammals which have evolved into something
with bigger brain and eyes called (33) ______________; the origin of monkeys, apes, and eventually human.

The Earth’s plates move again, India moves North towards (34) ___________. As the planets converge, they formed
the (35) ________________ which is over 27,000 feet.
