History of the change of Earth
 Scientific evidence that organisms and land forms
change over time.
 The Earth’s crust is divided into parts called tectonic
plates.
 Causes climate and geographic change, which causes
creatures to evolve in different ways.
 Some changes are sea level and continental change.
 Charles Darwin, “the father of evolution”, believed all
life was related through a common ancestor, and
evolved through natural selection.
 Natural Selection is the accumulation of helpful
genetic mutations that come together to make a new
species.
 The top rock layer is the youngest and the bottom layer
is the oldest, unless the rock layers have been
disturbed.
 The Fossil Record is the fossils that have been found,
and the information that can be gathered from them.
These fossils in chronological order can to help show
past evolution.
 Fossil Records show existence, diversity, extinction and
change of many life forms.
 Creatures that become extinct due to environmental
changes add to the fossil count.
 The diversity of species by adaptation.
 Creatures adaption include; structure, behavior and
physiology.
 The change enhance survival and reproductive success
in certain environments.
 By observing similarities in organisms you can find the
relatedness.
 System to organize and codify all life on Earth. This is
also called taxonomy.
 Biological evolution helps precisely describe
organisms, observe relationships and construct
evolution trees. It views relationships between modern
organisms and historical examples.

Biological evolution is the ________of a species.
_______________is a way to organize all life on Earth.
__________ is scientific evidence that creatures and
land change over time.
