The earth can be considered as a living organism, having its own breathing: it regulates its temperature, consumes energy and constantly changes its skin.
Researchers in the field of astrobiology have found that the current stable state of the Earth's climate is an anomaly, and in the next few billion years everything should "bounce back."
Under the surface of the oceans are the largest mountain chains that cover the surface of the globe, like the seams on a baseball.
More than 80% of the Earth's surface is of volcanic origin.

The amount of carbon dioxide in water and in the atmosphere, as well as the solar energy that the Earth receives, are factors that predetermine the life expectancy on Earth and the existence of the planet itself.
Too much greenhouse effect is dangerous for existing life on the Earth, but if there was no greenhouse effect at all, then the average temperature on the planet would be -18 ° С, instead of + 15 ° C, which we have now.
The Amazon jungle is home to one-third of the species of animals and plants on Earth, and this confirms the theory that the planet can save life on its surface within a limited area.
