This issue's topic: terraforming
Keywords: sandstone plants
Increased knowledge: "Without some kind of magical creature, these rocks, and the entire land mass, would have been lost forever.
This amazing creature is made of algae and fungi and often grows in extremely harsh environments
The vitality of lichens is amazing. They are found in every corner of the world.
8% of the earth's surface is covered with lichens. What's even more amazing is that this plant can even change the structure of rocks
The mycelium that grows during the growth of lichens can tear rocks and eventually create new land."
After watching: Absolute new knowledge, nature is amazing. For the first time, I saw lichen, a magical plant that looks soft but is so strong that even rocks can be shredded and even changed. Create new land and cannot underestimate the vitality of every plant and tree
Growing knowledge: "Lichens and other plants have been slowly breaking down rocks over thousands of years, in the process producing large numbers of tiny particles. Some of the particles are washed into the sea and lock in moisture. The depths of the earth help the rocks in the mantle to melt, and the lava flows, and eventually the surface volcanoes erupt more frequently. More lava flows into the ground.
It is amazing that it is because of these lava that new continents that did not exist before were formed
It was life that helped create the land"
After watching: I deeply understand that nature is a whole, and all things are interlinked, and some seemingly tiny creatures are the key factors driving the formation of the earth's land.
Growing knowledge: "The Earth would not be without life. The seven continents may be a tiny piece of land floating in the vastness of the sea"
After watching: The earth is the mother of all things, and the life of all things slowly evolves and shapes the appearance of the earth. Various ways of life on the earth affect and change the earth. All creatures have a place to live because of the earth. Become full of vitality because the decoration of all things becomes a planet lit by life
Growing knowledge: "Life creates the land on which we thrive
The earth is 4.5 billion years old. It took billions of years for life to reclaim this savage land into the world it is today, but not all changes have been satisfactory.
A little bit of error can lead you to fall into the abyss or even the abyss of doom"
After watching: New knowledge Earth is 4.5 billion years old
It is a sigh that creating and changing things is sometimes a mile away!
Increased knowledge: "The soft and attractive sand is actually an accident of a fish
Parrotfish shuttle between coral reefs and keep pecking at various substances in the coral
When the parrotfish finishes eating, they excrete the coral in the form of sand grains
A single coral-eating parrotfish can expel a ton of sand in just one year
Over 70% of the sand on the dotted islands comes from parrotfish. Parrotfish played a vital role in the formation of these islands.
As soon as the fish build the new beach, other creatures come here.”
After watching: Wow! Amazing! It turns out that 70% of the sand on the beach island is actually coral feeding on the excrement of parrotfish!
Reminds me of a phrase that may not be appropriate here, "the arsenic of others and my honey", the use of this kind of waste in the natural ecosystem is really wonderful
Increased knowledge: "Small lives have such amazing creativity. A group of fish builds an island like a fairyland in ordinary life.
This artistic creation of parrotfish is not intentional, but for them it is just three meals a day and four seasons, but for us it is the most beautiful accident.”
After watching: The inner cycle of the arrangement of natural creatures is amazing!
Consolidating growing knowledge: "Oxygen was produced as a by-product of early marine life some three billion years ago
Since then, the earth has undergone great changes. When this accidental production of oxygen rushed into the atmosphere, the methane was rapidly diluted. The earth began to cool down and the earth slowly entered the winter.
From two levels all the way to the equator, the earth was frozen into a giant ice ball"
After watching: It reminds me of "ice hockey" and ice cream balls. I really am a foodie hahaha
Growing knowledge: "Billions of years ago, the Earth's environment was not optimistic, but thanks to the water life on Earth, it has ushered in a turning point.
The ice floats on the water and the ice under the ice is a perfect refuge. Life lingered under the ice for millions of years until the volcanic eruption on Earth reversed the situation.
The carbon dioxide emitted by the volcano has gradually warmed the earth, and life on earth has really come to life with the melting of the ice.”
After watching: I mentioned earlier that the volcanic eruptions on the earth were caused by the combined action of lichens, other plants and tiny particles, and the carbon dioxide from the volcanic eruptions made the earth warm and the ice sheets melted and life was active on the earth in various forms.
The change of the natural environment and the formation of the ecology is a series of accidental and inevitable shaping!
Growing knowledge: "Plants can neither walk nor see it seems motionless but unstoppable It takes just enough time for a plant to become the ultimate king of the planet
The grass on the edge of the rock looks weak, but the power of the root can penetrate the rock, they can change the rock, they can also destroy the rock.”
After viewing: Every plant and every tree has tenacious vitality
Growing knowledge: "The roots of plants are like a slow excavator that has subtly crushed the rock to shreds
What they are doing is not destroying everything but shaping everything and reshaping the direction of the river
Plants have a huge impact on the earth. As they grow, their roots spread out and become entangled. This keeps them firmly in place like living glue.
Roots make the bank stronger so the bank doesn't spread out, the water goes deeper and deeper and finally becomes meandering
A beautifully curved river cannot be separated from the action of plants”
After viewing: I used to think that what prevented the expansion of the river was that the soil on both sides of the river fixed the two sides of a river, and now I realized that it was wrong. It turned out to be the function of the strong root system of plants
Increased knowledge: "The rocks in the Enshi Grand Canyon are not volcanic rocks but shells and bones.
Countless lives have settled down after death, and the layers have been continuously accumulated, and finally they have been backlogged into the present rock, which is called limestone. The main component of sedimentary rock is calcium carbonate.”
After watching: Really eye-opening! Didn't realize that limestone is not volcanic and made me understand its composition
Increased knowledge: "The soft texture of limestone makes it easy to cut and carve and also suitable for monuments"
After viewing: The original carved monuments are not made of volcanic rock! I sigh, I personally feel that this documentary is so good that it has enriched my knowledge once again
Growing knowledge: "Not just building materials. Almost any man-made object we use in our daily life can't do without the help of other living beings. Asphalt on the road. Fibres in clothing. leave us wealth
Without these prehistoric creatures, the earth could not be lit up, let alone the heights of the universe.”
After watching: Reminiscent of the last issue of the blue-blooded ancient creature, the immune system of the horseshoe crab has contributed to the human space cause
The prehistoric creatures on the earth provide the raw materials for our daily necessities to promote the progress of human material, scientific and technological civilization. I did not expect that prehistoric creatures are so important to the progress of human civilization.
Summary knowledge of growth: "Our prosperity is inseparable from the grace of all things. Although we have experienced ups and downs, we still overcome obstacles.
We protect the beautiful guardian in our hearts along the way and have all possible futures.”
After watching: I feel the same way!
Although human history is short, the changes it has brought about are earth-shaking
Growing knowledge: "When you fly over the earth you see that humans are constantly grabbing all kinds of resources and this has caused huge changes to the earth and trauma abounds as well.
Some places are devastated by over-exploitation of coal or precious metals, leaving large scars on the earth's surface. Some of these sights are even more shocking.
The scars of the earth's surface are only one of its invisible destructions that hold mortal danger
The most worrying thing about human changes to the earth is the changes in the atmosphere, which will plunge human beings into the abyss of doom."
After watching: I am amazed that the destructive mining and exploitation of resources by humans on the earth has reached the point where they can be clearly seen in space
Tears rolled in my eyes when I saw the astronaut's story here, and I felt sad that human beings greedily tormented Mother Earth for their own interests. One day, resources will be exhausted, and even the ecological balance will be affected, causing a series of bad consequences. Humans will not be able to survive.
For us, human beings must stop the destructive and unrestrained grabbing of natural resources, protect natural resources, maintain the balance of nature, and human beings can derive long-term benefits from them and sustainable development.
Growing knowledge: "Our planet has been changing for 10,000 years and we're just the latest species to make that change. Now that we've caused the change, we need to be aware of what's going on because we're human beings that must survive if we want to." Take control of the situation
We change the planet every day but we won't be able to survive if we've done too much damage to the planet."
Afterthought: The most valuable quality of human beings is to know how to reflect and have a sense of crisis, so as to constantly correct their wrong behaviors for the sake of the overall situation
Therefore, the climate conference will be held to save energy and reduce emissions, and a series of actions to protect the environment and nature
The earth is our common home, we humans must act together to protect this lighted planet
Increased knowledge: "Earth doesn't necessarily need the rest of us as well. Even if humans disappear, other life will continue to change the planet and will change the legacy of humanity.
If human beings go extinct, most of the man-made world will fall apart, and new life will destroy all the old things, then reshape and regenerate everything, reclaim everything, and remodel all buildings.
After watching: The earth is very important to human beings, but to human beings, we are just residents living on it. Just like the ancient dinosaurs, sooner or later, they will perish due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.
After a long cycle, new life will be born in the earth! As long as it is a living body, there will be an ultimate day! Material civilization is even more so that man-made buildings cannot exist forever!
Growing insightful summary knowledge: "A lit planet is what life makes home
We were born on a living planet and we changed it according to local conditions
Although we are not outstanding craftsmen, we are just nature's porters"
After watching: When I heard the sentence "We are just porters of nature", the first thing I thought of was "Nongfu Spring is a little sweet"
The development must be adapted to local conditions, the so-called development in exchange for the destructive and uncontrolled grabbing of resources is barbaric. The development is unsustainable and the final consequence is self-destruction.
The profound knowledge of growth: "And other life has already transformed it for hundreds of millions of years, which is longer than human beings. Many and many lives have worked together to shape this wild land into a paradise. We should be more gentle."
After watching: I deeply believe that we must be gentle and we must jointly safeguard and protect this piece of paradise shaped by all things!
