I realize that the density (or lack thereof, at higher elevations) of air molecules determines how well sound waves travel, but how different would our perception of specific sounds be if there was a change in our atmospheric composition--for example, if the atmosphere were 50 percent oxygen instead of 21 percent, or if it were 90 percent nitrogen, etc.? How would things sound if the oxygen levels in the atmosphere were lower (provided we had enough oxygen to keep us alive and conscious)? Not that I'm planning any experiments with inert gases (other than maybe inhaling helium).

As we know that gas (Exhaust gas) is much compressible than the liquid (Petrol and diesel), with so much combustion engines in our world that use petrol and diesel, this huge physical volume (Petrol and diesel) lost every days in our space, will it cause any effect to the atmospheric pressure, or cause other effects to our environment?

It's just going to go into the gulf and become salty. There's plenty of it especially in the late winter and spring, Most years there is too much water, causing floods. To me it looks like a win win situation.

I was recently checking out one of my books and I read about what would happen if the earth's axis were perpendicular to the ecliptic. I was just wondering if you could give me some insight on what would happen if the ecliptic was inclined at a 90-degree angle with respect to the celestial equator?
Would this mean that earth's orbit would travel along this "new ecliptic" while the north and south poles are travelling along this "new ecliptic"?

Whenever you see archaeology programs on telly they always dig down to reveal the past. So where did all the extra soil come from? Was the earth smaller back then? Is the soil just moved around over thousands of years meaning that there are loads of places where the ground level 1000 years ago was way above where it is now and so you can't do archaeology there? I know this sounds half-witted but my kid just asked me and I'm struggling to come up with an answer I can justify. Thanks

assume you can observe, built up structures. remember the speed of light, ancient civilizations here on earth, and the interaction and impact that the life form(s) (our case, human) may have played. all your observations are done with massive telescopes.

Is it possible that they were formed after a cosmic impact that ripped open the crust - and magma poured forth to accumulate into continents? Or maybe when the impact that created the moon occured, the leftover bit became Pangea?
