RE: Life's Role in Geology Part 1: How to Stop an Exploding Planet
In a sense, the planet shifts as life processes constantly affect changes to its environment. Does the Earth exist as it does due to the creatures on its surface, or do the creatures exist as they do because of the planetary conditions?
Both! When it comes to complex systems, the ways they interact tend to be reciprocating and interdependent. You can't really have a chicken or an egg.
