Over time, the planet experienced major events like the rise and fall of dinosaurs, ice ages, and continent shifts. The fossil record reveals diverse life forms and extinctions. Human ancestors appeared millions of years ago, leading to the development of civilizations. Today, our understanding of Earth’s history helps us grasp the interconnectedness of life and the impact of climate changes throughout geological time.
