Creation of Earth

Planetary Accretion

4600 BCE

This is approximately when rocks and dust collided to form the earth

Mantle, outer, and inner core creation

4600 BCE

This is the point where different elements would fall to the center of the early planet or rise to the top because of density. This happened because all of earth was basically liquid

Creation of the moon

4500 BCE

When a young planet collided with earth a lot of small debris shot out of earth to create a ring of molten rocks (similar to saturn). out of this ring the moon was formed.

Planetary Cooling

4100 BCE

at this stage earth's crust began cooling until solidification

End of late heavy bombardment

4000 BCE

At this point in time is also when the earliest fossil could be found, because this is the time where earth cooled down and was able to contain water. After this stage a new eon of time begins, The Archean Eon.

Earths inner core solidified

1250 BCE

At this stage earths inner core transitioned from being a molten liquid metal to a solid ball.

First Snowball earth

650 BCE

This is when almost all of earth froze. and shows the contrast of how earth started off as molten metal to this point where earth totally froze
