Hmm Interesting

Human Population of the Earth: 6,660,000,000 (6.66 billion) as of April 2008

World Population Growth: 1.14% - 2006 estimate (this means at the current rate of growth, the earth's population will double in 61.4 years)

Countries of the World: 195

WE need to move out to the moon soon if the Population keeps growing as fast as we are but soon a war might take care of that..

EARTH
consists of five parts:

The first, the atmosphere is gaseous, the second, the hydrosphere is liquid) the third, fourth, and fifth, the lithosphere, mantle, and core is largely solid.

Plate tectonics keep the planet comfortable

Earth is the only planet in the Solar System with plate tectonics. The outer crust of the Earth is broken up into regions known as tectonic plates. These are floating on top of the magma interior of the Earth and can move against one another. When two plates collide, one plate can go underneath another.

This process is very important. When microscopic plants in the ocean die, they fall to the bottom of the ocean. Over long periods of time, the remnants of this life, rich in carbon, are carried back into the interior of the Earth and recycled. This pulls carbon out of the atmosphere, which makes sure we don't get a runaway greenhouse effect, like what happened on Venus.

Without the plate tectonics, there'd be no way to recycle this carbon, and the Earth would overheat.

Earth is not round; it is slightly pear-shaped. The North Pole radius is 44mm longer than the South Pole radiu
