Would life on earth exist if none of these super volcanoes had ever erupted?
That is, are the massive cooling effects and resulting changes to the environment required to balance natural warming?
Has anyone studied or attempted to model an earth without super volcanic events?
- antisthenes 9y agoIf the greenhouse effect did not exist, the average temperature of Earth would be -18C So it's more correct to say that without the greenhouse effect, life would never exist on Earth, because plant life most certainly wouldn't develop in -18C and saturate the planet with oxygen.
