Geopolis is a community that promotes and connects people who are interested in fields of "global" sciences. These are the sciences that deal with planet earth and the interesting interactions taking place on it. Although just as fascinating, they do not always fit in the categories of "STEM". Here at Geopolis they are the corner stone of the community.

Ecology: Mother Earth Isn't Always so Nice: Death in the Seas 455 Million Years Ago

 

Original post by @anzha

Mother Earth is often depicted as a kind and loving Mom. A sweet and caring figure who gave birth to us and life on Earth. One that, if left alone, nature would be beautiful and lovely and stable.
