There’s something strangely calming about deep-time disasters…<br>It reminds me the planet has survived far worse than our bad weeks. 🌍🌧

2 million years... that's just wild. ⛈ Deep time always makes me feel so small but in a good way. Love finding gems like this for my nighttime playlist. Keep it up!

Two million years of unusually wet climate is hard to even imagine. Humans complain about three days of rain, while Earth basically went through a geological-era “bring an umbrella” phase. The strangest part is that this environmental chaos may have helped reshape life in ways that lasted for millions of years.
