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 .

Geography ;The Early Earth

The Early Earth    The early Earth was like a blurred patch of scalding rock and chocking fumes . But the space , in which it was floating , was  cold so the surface of the EARTH also began to cold , So the surface of the Earth also began to cool down . Approximately 3,000 million years ago , the Earth was cool enough for land masses to form . Even so , our planet remained an alien world for the next several hundred million years . Rafts of solid rock drifted in the magma like dark ice floes .   Atmosphere ,Weather and Oceans -) Gases , carbon dioxide , nitrogen , gusted out from the cooling rock and enveloped the planet in a blistering atmosphere devoid of oxygen . As the Earth cooled, the steam began to condense into water , and the water ran down wherever the rocks were lower , which perhaps made the first oceans . These first oceans may have been short-lived . Space rubble  left over from the birth of the planets bombarded Earth continuously .   ...
