Thus they have, in their turn, bee the most important animals on the planet. But they no they looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevenrs heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may be too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to e will depend on whether this problem can be solved.Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that the continued persence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.No one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “ Big Bang “ that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and bing to create stars and other bodies.Unit 4Oliver: Oh, well, all right.Oliver: Well, well,well! But you’ve never had such a job before.
