Earth science — the planet, read in deep time
earth science
The rock that life stands on. Radiometric dating reads deep time from decay; plate tectonics is the mantle as a heat engine; minerals are crystal chemistry; and deep time is the stage evolution needs. Four pillars rest on physical chemistry and chemistry (the decay clock, minerals), thermodynamics (the mantle engine), and biology (deep time). The stick (stick_earth_science_the_planet_read_in_deep_time) seals the radiometric fraction and the Richter energy factor (tools/seed_earth_science.py).
