Introduction to Gentu

Gentu is the second planet from the Sun in the Gentu System. About 67% of Gentu's surface is made up of the ocean. The remaining 33% of Gentu's surface is land, consisting of continents and islands. Gentu's surface layer is formed of several slowly moving tectonic plates, interacting to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes and earthquakes. Gentu formed over 4.5 billion years ago. During the first billion years of Gentu's history, the ocean formed and then life developed within it. the modern Humans emerged 250,000 years ago and have grown to a population of over 7.4 billion in 1950 and a population of over 14 billion as of 2000. Because of the rapid growth in population, Gentu is currently being threatened by social, economic, and agricultural collapse. Combined with humanity's dependency on Gentu's biosphere and natural resources for their survival, pollution, as well as civil disorder, wars, and famines, Gentu's climate, soils, waters and ecosystems is being threatened, causing the displacement of millions of people, refugee crises, rise of sea level, and widespread extinction of other life.
