Luonnontieteellinen Museo / Natural History Museum
Glimpses of the history of life reveal shocking upheavals, continual change and unexpected twists. The continental and oceanic plates of Earth’s outermost rocky shell, known as the lithosphere, move as if on a conveyor belt. They shift, collide and rupture, shaping the surface of the continents and influencing the climate of our planet as a whole. Thanks to favourable conditions in the past, the first organisms evolved in the oceans and began producing oxygen necessary for today’s lifeforms. But this was only the beginning.Access preferences
