Singularity
Singularity is a spot of infinite density and infinitesimal volume in which space and time become distorted to a great deal. Singularities existed at the beginning of the universe and are also believed to exist in the center of black holes. -
The Big Bang
The big bang theory is a scientific theory that the universe was created by a gigantic explosion 13.7 billion years ago. An extremely hot state of dense, matter and energy rapidly emerged from the singularity and stretched out in all directions and has cooled over billions of years. -
Solar Nebula
4.6 Billion years ago the Solar Nebula nestled in an outer way arm of the milky way galaxy. The Solar Nebula is a super heated sprialing cloud of hydrogen gas and dust -
The formation of the Sun
A theory called the solar nebula theory hypothesizes that the sun formed near the center of the solar nebula when an intense gravitational force condensed enough hydrogen gas to begin nuclear fusion then the left over gas and dust continued orbiting the early sun for the next few million years -
The cooling of the Earth
Earth was orbiting about 93 million miles from the sun and it was a molten, rocky mass of burning magma so basically the matter left over from the Big Bang was once magma here on Earth then it cooled. -
The formation of the atmosphere
violent volcanic activity shaped the Earths surface as it cooled and solidified over billions of years. Over time out gassing released a huge volume of different gases trapped within the planet then Earth's gravitational pull held all the gases close to the surface then formed a dense stable atmosphere. -
Heavy rain
When earth first started it rained for millions and millions of years non stop because the earth was hot and needed to cool down. Some scientist think that out gassing of water vapor from within the planets surface resulted in the million year down pour while others believe comets bombarded the planets surface bringing debris including trapped water vapor and over time comets brought enough trapped water vapor filled the earth’s basins with water -
The filling of Earth's basins with water
Water covers 71 percent of the earth and the oceans we know today represent a balance of elements and compounds that originated from the land. Water flowed from rocky land masses to ocean basin and carried many dissolved elements and compounds which altered the waters chemistry which helped life rise on this planet
