Scientists have proposed many ideas for how the Moon formed. A leading contender, the Giant Impact theory, speculates that when Earth was a young planet and just beginning to form, it was hit by another emerging planet named Theia, located nearby. The collision caused both planets to temporarily splatter apart into globs of gas, magma, and chemical elements before reforming into the bodies we know today to be the Earth and Moon. 4, record 1, English, - Giant%20Impact%20theory

The First World Climate Conference was one of the first major international meeting on climate change. Held on 12-23 February 1979 in Geneva, the Conference was sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization WMO and a number of other international bodies. Essentially a scientific conference, it was attended by scientists from a wide range of disciplines. In addition to the main plenary sessions, the conference organized four working groups to look into climate data, the identification of climate topics, integrated impact studies, and research on climate variability and change. 3, record 5, English, - World%20Climate%20Conference
