Introduction to Biogeology

How the world, goeology, and biology all interact with each other

Next

Question #1

Question #2

Bio + Geo

Based on what you already know, Biogeology is the study of both living organisms as well as Earth and its compostion and materials.However, it is more than that, it is how these two factors interact and influence each other.

Next

Question #3

Evolution

You should have a basic understanbding of evolution from your previous science courses. Biological evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.Biogeology focuses on coevolution. Coevolution involves not one species, but two factors or species that evolve.

Question #4

Cyanobacteria

Cyanobacteria existed as early as 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists hypothesize that they have produced Earth’s oxygen through photosynthesisInter-connectedness: Cyanobacteria produced Earth’s Atmosphere!

Cyanobacteria are closely related to biogeology due to their ability to inhabit a wide range of ecological niches and their role in shaping Earth's history. They were the first organisms capable of oxygenic photosynthesis, which has transformed the biology and chemistry of our planet, and caused the Great Oxidation Event, the precursor to the Cambrian Explosion. Their adaptability have allowed them to colonize various habitats, including harsh conditions and oceans, and have played a crucial role in the development of Earth's ecosystems. And, they still exist today!

Final Question

Final Question: This is your last chance to get the code for today. Answer correctly!!

Incorrect

Why?

Cyanobacteria evolved from the atmospheric conditions to produce oxygen. This then in turn, changed the compostion of the atmosphere, as it added oxygen! This is two factors of two spheres changing each other. The other examples have either only one species changing, or they evolved becuase of the envirnoment or predadotr, but did not change the environment itself.

Next

Incorrect

Why?

Tadpoles becoming frogs is an example of Metamorphisis. Volcanic eruptions are naturally occuring phenomena. However, as you will learn, it may trigger organisms to adapt and evolve. Biological evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.
