What is earths place in the universe
Earth, The Solar System,Global cluster, Milky way, Local group, virgo cluster.
There is not life in space that we know of but we sent the voyagers up there to find out.
The universe formed because of rapid expansion of something that started smaller than an atom. we found this out using micro wave radiation.
The solar system is like a neighborhood because each planet has a different address, like a neighborhood each house has a different address

Is mining essential for modern life?
yes because a lot of the things we rely on to survive that we get through mining
we mine all types of medal to make big modern day buildings and cars
we get materials for batteries from mining. all the technology we use is kept alive by the materials we get from mining.
mining is like welfare all of us survive off the materials we get from mining and if the government just cuts off mining we wouldnt know what to do and wouldn't be able to survive, like people that need welfare if that just gets cut off they would have anything keep them up to survive.
we get oil from mining we get plastic from oil and tons of other things we need on a daily basis.
how has earth changed over time?
pangea happened and that means the continents shifted.
different eras earth were completely different. for example now is normal but during the hadean era everything was hot and coverd in lava.
The Earth has changed in a lot of way but 3 big ones are climate change, land shifting, and the rapid expansion during the big bang
pg. 35
the earth's rapid expansion was like a compact grenade. out of nowhere the little earth had an explosion like act (rapid expansion) and became the size it is. that's like a compact grenade because the moment that grenade makes contact with something it explodes
how do humans effect earth spheres?
human effect all spheres by doing different things they can be good or bad for the earth.
the atmosphere gets polluted with smoke, fuel etc. humans can positively affect the air by planting trees to create more oxygen
the hydrosphere gets polluted through oil spills and trash swept from the beaches. but humans try to do their best to clean it up without hurting the marine animals
the relationship between the earth and the spheres is like a person and their reputation. everything you do affects your reputation no matter if its good or bad will change the way people see you and think of you.
the lithosphere gets affected negatively from humans mining but a lot of people are stating to clean and restore those spots (Mine Reclamation)
the biosphere is negatively affected by poaching and positively affected by officials making an endangered list and protecting species
this isn't good for the earth but it is important https://nma.org/facts-stats-and-data/
poaching is a worldwide problem that is very hard to prevent but officials are doing their best https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2017/08/war-poaching

at one time the earth was just a spec. the earth then went through rapid expansion and became the size of the earth in little time

this is what it looks when they mine for oil http://www.mining.com/web/data-compiled-by-capp-indicates-62-decrease-in-oil-and-gas-spending-for-canada/
this is mining for metal https://www.thermofisher.com/blog/mining/comparing-tramp-metal-detectors-for-mining-operations/
as you can see most of modern day building are made from metal we get from mining https://ny.curbed.com/maps/new-york-architecture-empire-state-building-statue-of-liberty
