Portia’s stepfather took that bank note back to the Bank of Engl and and cashed it. The bank note was then usel es for m oney but was hi s weddi ng gift to the young coupl e. Yes, the bank note was worth m il li ons of dol ars, but not worth on tenthe as m uch as how H enry felt about Porti a . Uni t 4 H ow li fe began on the earth No one knows exactl y how the earth began, as i t happened so l ong ago. However, accordi ng to a wi del y accepted theory, the uni verse began wi th a “ Bi g Bang “ that threw m atter in al l directi ons. After that, atom s began to form and bing to create stars and other bodies. For several bil li on years after the “ Bi g Bang “, the earth was sti l just a cl oud of dust. What i t was to be e was uncertai n unti l between 4. 5 and 3. 8 bil li on years ago when the dust settl ed i nto a soli d gl obe. The earthenware becam e so vi ol ent that i t was not cl ear whether the shape woul d l ast or not. It expl oded l oudl y wi th fi re and rock. They were i n ti m e to produce carbon, ni trogen , water vapour and other gases , whi ch were to m ake the earth’s atm osphere. What i s even m ore i m prtant is that as the earth cool ed down, water began to appear on i ts surface. Water had al so appeared on other pl as l i ke Mars but, unl i ke the earth, i t had di sappeared l ater. It was not im medi atel y obvi ous that water was to be fundam ental to the developm ent of l i fe. What many sci enti sts bel ieve i s that the conti nued persence of water al l owed the earth to di sol ve harm ful gases and aci ds i nto the oceans and seas. Thi s produced a chai n reacti on, whi ch m ade i t possibl e for li fe to devel op. Many m il li ons of years later, the fi rst extrem el y sm al l pl ants began to appear on the surface of the water. They m ulti pl i ed and fil ed the oceans and seas wi th oxygen, whi ch encouraged the l ater devel opm ent of earl y shel l fi sh and al sorts of fi sh. N ext, green pl ants began to grow on l and. They were fol owed i n tim e by l and anim al s. Som e were i nsects. O thers, cal led am phi bi ans, were abl e to li ve on l and as wel l as i n the water. Later when the pl ants grew i nto forests, reptil es appeared for the fi rst ti m e. They produced young general ly by l ayi ng eggs. After that, som e huge anim al s, cal l ed di nosaurs, devel oped. They l ai d eggs too and exi sted on the earth for m ore than 140 m il li on years. H owever, 65 m il li on years ago the age of the di nosaurs ended. Why they suddenl y di sapeared sti l rem ai ns a m ystery. Thi s di sappearance made possi bl e thi ef ri se of m amm als on the earth. These anim als were different from al l ife forms i n the past, because they Gavi n bi rth to young baby anim al s and prodeced mi lk to feed them . Finnal y about 2. 6 mil li on years ago som e sm al l cel ver anim al s, now wi th hands and feet, apeared and spread al over the earth. Thus they have, i n thei r turn, be e the m ost i mportant anim als on the pl a. But they no they l ooki ng after the earth very wel l. They are putti ng too much carbon di oxi de i nto the atm osphere, whi ch prevenrs heat from escapi ng from the earth i nto space. As a result of thi s, m any sci enti sts beli eve the earth m ay b e too hot to l i ve on. So whether li fe wil l conti nue on the earth for mi l i ons of years to e wil l depend on whether thi s probl em can be sol ved.
