Earth's History

  • Period: 4600 BCE to 4730 BCE

    Planetary Accreation

    Gravity pulls dust and rocks together, and the impact generates immense heat that will later become the center of the planets
  • Period: 4500 BCE to 4300 BCE

    Moon Formation

    The gravity then turns the left over rubble (rocks and dust) into a ring that circles the earth. A ball forms from the rubble and it is the moon, 14 thousand miles from the earth.
  • Period: 3800 BCE to 1800 BCE

    Planetary Cooling

    As the Sun rises over the cooling Earth and sets 3 hours later, the Earth was spinning so fast that over a period of time the outer layer was able to cool.
  • Period: 3300 BCE to 3200 BCE

    Core Formation

    The cooling process trapper the intense heat at the centre of the earth, forming the core.
  • Period: 3 BCE to 3 BCE

    Heavy Bombardment

    A hail of meteors (leftovers from the debris) attacked Earths surface. The meteors contained water, and the Earths surface has cooled enough for the water to pool.
