  24. Major “players” in the story of Earth’s evolution: (1) 1st Law of Geology: Rocks Fall Downhill (Gravity) - Controls LAYERING, MINERAL PHASES

  25. Major “players” in the story of Earth’s evolution: (2) 1st Law of Geophysics - Heat “rises” (Thermodynamics, thermal expansion, gravity) Heat flows from hot regions to cold regions (therefore up and out of the Earth).
