Summary

Environments vary over all spatial scales, from subatomic to the universe and all timescales from a Plank unit to eternity. There have been very large changes in environments in the past, notably over hundreds to thousands of years during glaciations driven by Milankovitch cycles (Zachos et al., 2001). Life on Earth has survived and evolved over time to adapt to those changes and to exploit nearly all of the available environments on Earth. The very small exceptions include the insides of hydrothermal vents
