origin of earth - Answer-• Supernova: death of a star (great explosion) • Supernova happened 4.6 bya, dust and gas flattens to a disk and spins faster due to gravity and solar nebula formed. • Solar Nebula: describes formation of Earth 4.5 bya • Nebula: gas cloud origin of oceans - Answer-• volcanic explosion, H2O condensed and rained down for thousands of years to create oceans • icy comets hitting earth (responsible for 1/2 of earths ocean water) origin of life - Answer-•...
