Respect for oldest creatures

Cyanobacteria are said to have existed for 3.7 billion years. They were the first bacteria to begin photosynthesis on Earth, and they are responsible for increasing oxygen on Earth, creating the ozone layer, and producing iron ore.

Respect for the Bridgmanites

Bridgmanite is the most abundant mineral on Earth. It exists 660km to 2900km deep underground, in a high-pressure environment of 240,000 to 1250,000 atmospheres. In honor of Bridgmanite, which makes up about 80% of the lower mantle and about 50% of the Earth's volume,

Respect for purification

Various living organisms purify the soil, water, oceans, and atmosphere. Mosses, lichens, and plants that collect metals in the soil, microorganisms that break down oil in the ocean, and bacteria that absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide. In honor of the activities and purification of living organisms that protect ecosystems and return various substances to the cycle.

Respect for plant succession

The transition of plants from bare ground to the formation of a forest is called vegetation succession. Over a long period of time, mosses and lichens create a thin soil, annual and perennial plants create a thick soil, and the number of sun-loving trees and shade-loving trees increases, resulting in a stable forest.

Respect for dormant

Hibernation, winter hibernation, summer hibernation, etc. are ways to survive harsh environments. I feel the amazingness of their survival strategies to lower their body temperature and survive in a low metabolic state. I pay my respects to hibernation, which is synchronized with the cycle of the earth.

Respect for Geospace

The range of influence of the Earth's magnetic field reaches an altitude of 60,000 km, and this space is called geospace. It forms a huge radiation belt, a huge ring current, and a huge plasma belt, and sometimes behaves like a living organism, protecting the Earth from the solar wind.

Respect for the tetrahedron

Among all polyhedrons made up of regular polygons, the regular tetrahedron has the smallest number of faces and edges. Many crystals have tetrahedral gaps, and ice, diamonds, and rocks in the earth's crust have molecular structures of regular tetrahedrons. In homage to the regular tetrahedrons of rocks in the earth's crust, which are strong enough to support the earth,

Respect for flight

Flying is a phenomenon that moves through space against gravity. Snakes, frogs, and bats fly by spreading their flying membranes, spiders use silk to ride the wind, and a plant called Alsomithra launches its seeds like gliders. This is a tribute to the ability of flight that various living creatures have acquired.

Respect for the extremophiles

Extremophiles live in environments where normal organisms would never be able to survive. These include freezing temperatures, temperatures approaching 100°C, strong acids and alkalis, high salinity and water pressure, strong radiation and organic solvents, etc. In tribute to extremophiles, microorganisms that live and connect all over the Earth.

Respect for ecosystem engineers

Wild animals that change the environment are called ecosystem engineers. Beavers build dams, and elephants create paths and pools in the forest. Woodpeckers dig holes in trees, giant armadillos dig soil, and sea urchins carve rocks to create habitats for many living things. In honor of ecosystem engineers,
