History Of The Earth

  • Biological time line of the Earth 
  • Astronomical and geological evidence indicates that the earth was formed about 4.54 billion years ago . About 14 billion years ago ,there was a massive explosion called ''The Big Bang'', which released radiation ,particles and clouds of atoms . This Bag Bang is believed to have given birth to the Universe . Gravity condensed the atoms into galaxies where  stars appeared These Stars then began creating new types of atoms as they aged and exploded as supernovae . The Sun was formed around 4.5 billion years ago followed by the Earth around the same time.

  •  There is a lot of water in the Earth's atmosphere . In fact, there is enough water to cover the entire surface of the Earth with one inch of water ! Our planet is located  in the perfect place for our  need for water . If it was any closer or farther away from the Sun , all that water would either boil away or freeze .
  •          The Earth orbits the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, or 100,000 kilometers per hour , which is approximately a thousand times faster than a car driven on a highway .

Global Warming

            G lobal W arming can be known as the increase in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere due to different causes . According to scientists , its temperature is gradually increasing mainly because of human activities . Now this essay presents some of its causes , effects , and preventive measures and solutions .             Some of the major causes of global warming include ejection of unwanted gases or greenhouse gases due to human activities and volcanic eruptions . It has been estimated that average global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃ during the 21st century as the result  of ejaculation of the gases . On Earth , the major greenhouse gases involve water vapor , carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) , ozone ( O 3 ) and nitrous oxide ( N 2O) . These gases are produced by burning solid wastes , fossil fuels , firewood and modern farming . Similarly , automobiles and factories are o...

Origin Of The Earth

Origin      Like the other planets , the Earth is made up of molecules . These molecules were floating around in space , in a cloud of dust left over by the formation of our Sun . At first , just a few molecules clumped together .Then , the clumps began to crash into each other and stick together to make bigger clumps . Later , there were big crashes as pieces of metal and rock hundreds of miles across smashed into each other . There were huge clusters , one such cluster that formed about 150 million kilometers (93,205,678.8 miles ) from the Sun was planet Earth . The planet formation was largely completed in 10 - 20 million years . Orbit The Sun's gravity caught the Earth , as well as the other planets , and pulled them into an orbit around it . On one hand , the Earth's momentum was always trying to carry it away from the Sun in a straight line . On the other hand , the Sun's gravity kept pulling the Earth toward the Sun . As a result ,through centrifugal force , the Ea...
