Lo que un BIVALVO PREHISTÓRICO nos enseñó sobre la LUNA | Con @ElPakozoico

The video explores the historical changes in Earth's rotation, influenced by the Moon's gravitational pull, which has lengthened days over millions of years. It discusses the Moon's formation from a collision with a planetoid and its gradual distancing from Earth. The video also highlights the role of paleontology in understanding Earth's history, focusing on bivalve fossils that provide insights into past environmental conditions. These studies reveal that 70 million years ago, days were shorter, and the Moon was closer to Earth.

How long did a day last approximately 70 million years ago?

• 24 hours

• 23 hours and 30 minutes

• 22 hours

• 19 hours

What is the primary reason for the gradual increase in the length of Earth's day?

• The Earth's orbit around the Sun

• The Sun's expansion

• The Earth's core cooling

• The Moon's gravitational pull

How was the Moon formed according to the most accepted theory?

• From a part of Earth breaking away

• From a supernova explosion

• From a collision with a planetoid

• From a captured asteroid

What is paleobiology primarily concerned with?

• Examining the chemical composition of rocks

• Studying the behavior of living animals

• Analyzing the structure of ancient plants

• Understanding the life processes of ancient organisms

What did the study of bivalve mollusk fossils reveal about the length of a year 70 million years ago?

• It had 365 days

• It had 372 days

• It had 360 days

• It had 366 days

What will happen to the Moon's appearance as it continues to move away from Earth?

• It will disappear completely

• It will remain the same size

• It will appear smaller

• It will appear larger

What is a potential future consequence of the Moon's increasing distance from Earth?

• The Earth will stop rotating

• Total solar eclipses will become impossible

• Total solar eclipses will become more frequent

• The Moon will become a new planet
