What is Gaia theory?
The theory of Gaia is a scientific hypothesis that originated with Dr. James Lovelek at the age of 60. Lovelock claims that the Earth and its physical make -up, such as its geological and chemical properties, are associated with the ecosystems of the world and that their coexistence affects, does not completely rule, geological, chemical and biological circumstances, including climate, on Earth. Many comparison of Gaia theory with understanding the Earth as the only organism. Loveleck's idea, originally referred to the hypothesis of Gaia, has since been described as Gaia theory for his ability to help predict some of the Earth's behavior.
scientists know that most earthly processes are complex and interacting with each other. Lovelock claims that all Earth's ecosystems interact with each other, each of which forms a vital part of the Earth's structure and regulates the country. The way Lovelock claims is how many different processes of the country, whether biological, geological, chemical or climatic, remain stable.
Every process exists in itself, in relation to other processes and in relation to Earth as a whole. For example, hydrogen would disappear from the Earth's atmosphere if it was not for certain biologically produced gases such as methane. If it was not for some living organisms, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase to approximately 30 times higher than its current level, which would cause a greater greenhouse effect, which would increase the temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and also changed its chemical composition and cause the Earth much less suitable for living organisms.
Lovelock claims that almost constant Earth's surface temperature supports Gaia theory in another way. Sun energy increased by 30%since the first of the life, which should also increase Uchotho is atmospheric temperature and changed its chemical make -up. The only main non -non -necked source of carbon dioxide necessary for a greenhouse effect, a phenomenon that significantly contributes to the ground temperature is from SOPEClear activities that are unpredictable, sporadic and incapable of self -regulation.
Chemical make -up of the Earth's atmosphere should be unstable in terms of chemistry and in the flow. Oxygen should be combined with many other gases, while methane should be unstable and should sleep in such an oxygen -rich environment. Lovelock assumes that only through regulation by living organisms can all processes of the Earth continue and remain constant.
