PIX4630745: Cratere Manicouagan - Quebec - January 2014 - The Manicouagan Impact Crater reservoir in Quebec, Canada - Cratere d'impact Manicouagan, Quebec, seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on January 2, 2014. This 100-kilometre crater formed 212 million years ago, following the fall of an asteroid on Earth. One of the Expedition 38 crew members aboard the Earth - orbiting International Space Station recorded this image which features the Manicouagan Crater and reservoir located primarily in Manicouagan Regional County Municipality in the Cote - Nord region of Quebec, Canada. Scientists believe the crater was caused by the impact of a 5 kilometer (3 mile) diameter asteroid about 215.5 million years ago (Triassic Period). The crater is a multiple - ring structure about 100 kilometers (60 miles) across, with its 70 kilometer (40 mile) diameter inner ring as its most prominent feature; it contains a 70 kilometer (40 mile) diameter annular lake, the Manicouagan Reservoir, surrounding an inner island plateau, Rene - Levasseur Island. Because it is so unique and easily recognizable from the sky and space, the crater has been the subject of hundreds of images from astronauts for 45 - plus years. 2 Jan 2014 / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632061: The Earth - Topographic View - Altimetric view of earth. - Bathymetric and topographic map of the Earth. Image made from radar data. The topography of the seabed was obtained from boat surveys, as well as from data obtained from ERS-1, ERS-2 and Geosat satellites. Altimetric data on the continents come from observations from the ERS-1 satellite. Color code uses: purple (- 8000m) to white (+ 3000m to+8000m); green 0 to 400 meters altitude. This global map was realized by merging a bathymetry model and the Altimetry Corrected Elevations (ACE). For the ocean, the global bathymetry was constructed by blending depth soundings collected from ships with detailed gravity anomaly information obtained from the Geosat (US Navy) and ERS - 1/2 (ESA) satellite altimetry missions. For the land elevation, database of ERS - 1 satellite altimeter were reprocessed / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632750: First plants on Earth - Artist view - First plants - Artist view - Artist view - Artist view of the first plants (Cooksonia caledonica) that appeared on Earth in Silurian more than 400 million years ago. Species of Cooksonia caledonica, the only witness to a spectacular Late Silurian sunset, establish a tenuous foothold on a mound of ancient lava. 600 million years ago the Earth's oceans were teaming with life, however it wasn't until 200 million years later that the first plants emerged from the waters and made the Earth's surface their home. They were simple plants, standing only a few inches tall, consisting of slender stalks with branches and rounded structures called sporangia. The sporangia, common to funguses and non - seed plants, produced and contained the spores required for reproduction / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632762: Devonian Canopee - Artist's View - Devonian Canopy - Artist's View of an Archaeopteris Forest about 380 million years ago. The fossil record reveals that great forests of Archaeopteris covered much of the Earth 380 million years ago. The large umbrella - like fronds appear to have been optimized for gathering sunlight at the canopy level while still permitting enough light to reach the shorter and younger trees. It was great forests like these that helped to draw much of the carbon dioxide out of the primeval air while releasing the oxygen we breathe today / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632864: Eryops - Close to modern crocodiles, two Eryops, giant prehistoric amphibians evolute in a carboniferous marsh about 300 million years ago. With a length of up to two metres, Eryops was one of the greatest predators of his time. Also visible in the picture, lower right, is an amphibian (Ophiderpeton) and a Meganeura in flight. Resembling modern crocodiles, two giant prehistoric amphibians from the genus Eryops dominate a Carboniferous swamp 300 million years ago in what is today North America. At six feet long and 200 pounds, Eryops was one of the largest predators of its time. It probably spent most of its time in the water, and like modern crocodiles probably fed on fish and other swimming vertebrates. Also in this image, on the lower right is a snake - like, legless amphibian from the genus Ophiderpeton. Flying overhead and resembling a giant dragonfly is a prehistoric insect from the genus Meganeura. The tree - like plants making up the surrounding forest include Sigillaria scutellata and Lepidodendron aculeatum. The low ground cover includes various primitive ferns and mosses / Bridgeman Images

PIX4632911: Carbonifere Drill - Conifers and Cordaitales - Artist's view of a drill 300 million years ago populated with coniferes in different states of maturation (foreground), and cordaitales accompanied by adult coniferes in the background. Late Carboniferous conifers make an appearance 300 million years ago in what is today southeastern Illinois. Fossil evidence suggests that these early conifers resembled today's Norfolk Island Pine. In this image the foreground trees illustrate three different stages of conifer growth, while in the (foggy) background are mature conifers along with towering Cordaitales. The middle foreground conifer is about 30 feet tall. The undergrowth beneath the trees represents different varieties of fern / Bridgeman Images

PIX4633215: Dinomischus - Artist's View - Middle Cambrian Dinomischus - Dinomischus was a fixed and stationary animal that inhabited the seabed of the Burgess Shale (- 500 million years). It looked like a daisy about 2.5 cm. Resembling modern flowers, species of the genus Dinomischus populate the ocean floor about 505 million years ago. About four inches tall, Dinomischus was an animal permanently attached to the ocean floor by a stalk. It probably fed by filtering the surrounding seawater for nutrients, and may have created a current to facilitate this. Its mouth and anus were positioned side - by side / Bridgeman Images
