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-•...

Test 1 SCI 225How is solar radiation distributed on Earth's surface? - correct answer hottest towards the equator because of its direct rays hitting the earth directly. What is law of superposition? - correct answer oldest rocks are on the bottom. How can you determine the age of the seafloor? - correct answer The youngest crust of the ocean floor can be found near the seafloor spreading centers or mid-ocean ridges. As the plates split apart, magma rises from below the Earth's surface to...
