Humans have invented mind-blowing technology, engineering, art, literature, philosophy, medicine. According to the experts, volcanoes were responsible for 80% of the land and pretty much all the water distribution on our 4.6 billion-year-old planet. The water was locked into the rock and through eruptions starting 3.8 billion years ago it was freed into the atmosphere where it formed weather systems, oceans and eventually organisms. Without this, life—including us—wouldn’t exist. ©Paul Davis 2021
