Early Universe and Solar System Formation
Big Bang Theory and Solar System Formation:
- The Big Bang Theory describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature. About 4.6 billion years ago, our solar system began to form from a giant molecular cloud.
- Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun. The rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk, out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
- Question: How did Earth get its water? The answer lies in both rocky material (such as asteroids) and the vast cloud of dust and gas remaining after the Sun’s formation, known as the solar nebula
Earth’s Birth and Differentiation:
- Timeline of Earth’s Formation:
- Earth began as a molten ball and gradually cooled.
- Oceans of liquid water formed over a few hundred million years.
- The early atmosphere was primarily composed of gases released during planetary formation, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia.
- Earth’s surface transitioned from molten to solid, and layering occurred due to differences in density and composition.
- Plate tectonics played a crucial role in shaping Earth’s crust and continents.
- Timeline of Earth’s Formation:
Earth’s Chemical Composition:
- Earth is composed of 90 chemical elements, with 81 having at least one stable isotope.
- The atmosphere was initially rich in hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
- Question: What was Earth’s ancient atmosphere like? It was similar to the atmosphere found on Venus and Mars today
Impact of Meteorites and Bombardment:
- Heavy bombardment occurred in Earth’s history when it was bombarded by asteroids and comets.
- These impacts influenced the planet’s composition, surface, and evolution.
- Question: How did Earth’s water originate? It came from water-rich objects like comets and asteroids
Life’s Emergence and Role of Geology:
- Prebiotic chemistry and the earliest life forms were influenced by Earth’s geological processes.
- Geology shaped conditions conducive to life by providing organic compounds, catalysts, and membrane-forming compounds.
- Question: How did life first evolve? The prebiotic environment contained the necessary ingredients for life
