What makes the earth suitable for life

Quite a few, but the three main ones being an abundance of oxygen in the atmosphere and liquid water, which are both essential for life as we know it to exist here on earth. The other is the proper distance from the sun which gives us the right amount of heat energy needed to heat up the planet just enough to maintain water in a liquid form and also gives us sunlight for plants to photosythesize and exist, which in turn take in the carbon dioxide we breath out and turn it into oxygen which we need. because it is the right distance from the Sun that liquid water can exist on its surface and it's massive enough that it can maintain an atmosphere. 2. What evidence may be sited to proved that their once existed a supercontinent called Pagaea?

Pangaea is what scientists believe to be the orgin of all continents on Earth. Based on the borders of the continents we have today, it does seems that you can fit them all together into one large landmass. Scientists later found other evidences such as fossils of the same animals on to different continent border which are separated by miles of water and similar mountain ranges. They figured that there was a "supercontinent" and called it Pangaea. ALthough at first they didn't believe it would not be possible to move the continents, the calculated force seemed impossible to happen. Only later on did they discover that seafloor spreading was the cause for the separation of Pagaea. Sea-flooring spreading moved the floor of the ocean and the continents along with it.moon rocks have shown that the moon is made of only the superficial layers of the earths crust . the moon may have been created as a fragment of a a collision wifh a huge body the result being the creation of the moon as part flew off into orbit and the rest adhered to the earth to be Pangaea an island of solid matter in the center of the water cover earth. 3. How are mountains and volcanoes formed?

It all has to do with plate tectonics. The outer shell of the earth's surface (lithosphere) is made up of separate plates that float on top of the liquid asthenosphere. These plates move relative to each other and it is at their boundaries where we find volcanoes, mountains and ocean trenches. The outer crust of the lithosphere is either oceanic crust or continental crust. The continental crust is between 35 and 40 kilometres thick but less dense than the oceanic crust, which is only 6-8 kilometres thick. The earth is a sphere with a constant surface area, therefore, if new crust is formed at places where plates diverge, then a similar amount of crust must also me "destroyed". Constitutional mandate on science and technology in the Philippines? The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is mandated to: provide central direction, leadership, and coordination of all science and technology activities in the country; and, formulate S&T policies, programs, and projects in support of national development priorities. The Department through the years: 1958 - Congress passes a law establishing the National Science Development Board (NSDB) upon the recommendation of Dr. Frank Co Tui, who was tasked to survey the state of Philippine S&T during the Garcia administration; 1982 - NSDB revamped as the National Science and Technology Authority (NSTA) and accorded broader policy-making and program implementing functions; 1987 - NSTA elevated to Cabinet level and becomes the DOST in response to increasing demands for S&T intervention in national development. In the 90's, DOST's overall mission is embodied in the 1990-2000 Science and Technology Master Plan (STMP) that shows the direction and desired goals of Philippine S&T for both the public and private sectors. The Medium-Term Plan of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), for the period 1999-2004, outlines DOST's programs and projects in pursuance of the vision of a competent and competitive science community with a social conscience.
