A process
What will happen when humans go extinct.
The earth has been around for 4.5 billion years. Humans have only called earth home for 200,000 years so it is safe to say that our planet thrived before us, and will thrive after we are gone.
This is what would happen if humans vanished.
After a few hours=
If humans vanished the world wouldn't take long to start feeling the effect. Just in the few hours there would be shocking changes that would change the world forever. Since most power stations around the world work on fossil fuels are controlled by human run power plants, The power around the world would stop.The world would almost go dark, but there would still be some power thanks to solar panels and windmills.
After a few days=
After 48 hours without human maintenance the solar panels and windmills that were still working would soon shut down and the world would be officially without power. House pets would start to starve and dehydrate from not being looked after by their humans and will die without the proper care, and dont have the skills to survive in the wild. The metro stations would flood because the pumps that keep them dry are run by humans.
After a few weeks=
Small designer dogs such as bulldogs and terriers would die because of their lack of physical advantages. Big dogs would start forming packs and hunt small animals. Domestic animals would also because a bigger foods sauce for the already wild animals. Within a few weeks animals in zoos and enclosures would soon be able to escape and become predators once again.
After a month.
Water that helps cool nuclear power plants will have evaporated causing nuclear explosions all around the world. Millions of animals will die from cancer caused by radiation from the expositions. Rivers and lakes will be flooded by sewage because of the power plants not working. The swage in the water would kill the animals that rely on the rivers and lakes for their ecosystems. Chemicals get released into the air, and natural gas Will start wildfires that last for days.
After a year=
After a year all the recycled rubbish like plastic and electronics would now be found in waterways and washed up on beaches. Larch constructions such as bridges, buildings, and the Eiffel tower would start collapsing due to corrosion.
After 25 years=
By now all the plants would of over grown And popular streets and cities will be cover will grass and trees. Cities will be riddled with wildlife. Some cities will go back to their natural environment and end up covered in sand from the desert. The animals now rule the world. All the cities of human existence would be gone except from a few stone structures.
10,000 years later=
Only pyramids, the great wall of china, and MT. Rushmore would still be standing.
Plastic would still be alive and will be for a hundred more years to come. Future aliens that come to our planet would be confused by the amount of plastic found in fossils.

Matahiwi Marae Trip
Matahiwi Marae Trip
5.9.17
Today my class and the whole year eights went to a marae where we learnt all about the paintings and statues in the different rooms and what there purpose is.
When we went inside the meeting room, where we had to take our shoes off, there were wooden carvings of gods attached to the wall and opposite them were there husband or wife. In that room we talked about the main god 'Maui'. He is the strongest and most powerful of them all. He is our role model as he always takes and chance and never gives up.
