PIX4633177: 100m ocean level rise - Asia - Asia with sea level+100m - Artist's view showing Asia as it would appear if ocean level increased by 100 metres. This would happen if all glaciers on Earth melt. This is how Asia may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt. In this image the Gulf of Thailand now cleaves that country in two while submerging almost all of Cambodia. The Gulf of Tonkin has claimed much of North Viet Nam. Ocean waters have claimed much of South Korea and some of North Korea and Eastern China. To the south much of Malaysia and the Indonesian archipelago have been claimed by the higher waters / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633309: Anomalocaris - Anomalocaris was a prehistoric invertebrate forming part of the arthropods or more precisely the anomalocarid arthropods, Anomalocaris would be the Earth's first superpredator. He would have lived between 535 and 520 million years, at the beginning of the Cambrian. It was carnivorous and was up to one metre long. The image also shows a trilobite (Oleonides serratus), sponges (Vauxia and Wapkia), Dinomischus (flower-shaped animal) and a meduse. An anomalocaridid from the genus Anomalocaris cruises a Middle Cambrian ocean floor about 500 million years ago. Growing to over three feet long, Anomalocaris is believed to have been a predator whose diet included trilobites and may have been one of the earliest arthropods. This image includes a trilobite from the species Olenoides serratus and sponges from the genus Vauxia and Wapkia. The small, flower - like animals (yes, like the sponges they are rooted animals) are from the genus Dinomischus. Above and behind the Anomalocaris is an ancient jellyfish / Bridgeman Images
PIX4633532: The End of the Earth - Artist's View - Earth's end - Artist view - Artist view from the Earth in 4 billion years. The Sun, becoming a red giant, will make life impossible on Earth. In about six billion years our sun is expected to dramatically expand and grow hotter as its helium core contracts and ignites the outer layers of hydrogen, eventually becoming a type of star called a “Red Giant.” In this image the Sun has just started its journey toward becoming a Red Giant, however the intense heat has already boiled off Earth's oceans and driven away most of the atmosphere leaving a lifeless, molten surface. The Sun will continue to bloom for the next few hundred million years until it fills the sky and eventually engulfs the Earth entirely / Bridgeman Images
