Canada, recently published a study in Progress in Science, which showed that from about 2 billion years ago to 600 million years ago, the solar driven atmospheric tides offset the impact
This is due to increasing temperatures and pressures and to the original segregation of materials, soon after Earth accreted from the solar nebula about 4.56 billion years ago, into a metal-rich core, a silicate-rich mantle, and the more highly refined crustal rocks. Earth is geochemically ...
6 billion years old. However, the mountains, valleys(山谷), hills,rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that.For example, Mount Qomolangm a is about 60 million years old and the Amazon rainforest is only 10 million years old. The youngest se a in the world ...
University of Liverpool data indicates that the Earth’s inner core originated 1-1.5 billion years ago as it solidified from the molten iron outer core. Credit: Kay Lancaster, Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences New data from the University of Liverpool reveals that the Earth’s...

Life continued to evolve, inventing new forms. This white rock is testimony to an upheaval that occurred 2.5 billion years ago in the oceans, a development which changed the entire history of life on Earth, a planet-scale revolution brought about by micro-organisms.生命继续进化，创造新的形式...
Here you see Philae's leg, an object made just a few years ago, and here, the oldest object in the Solar System, the same as when it formed 4.6 billion years ago. It was the first time, and it won't happen again soon, that we set something down on a comet.这里你可以看到菲莱...
5 billion years ago, Mars and Earth began their existence under similar conditions. During the first billion years, liquid water-in contrast to ice-was abundant on the surface of Mars. This is an indication that Mars was much warmer during that time. Mars also had a thicker atmosphere of ...
Shungite, a unique carbon-rich sedimentary rock from Russia deposited 2 billion years ago, holds clues about oxygen concentrations on Earth's surface at that time. Led by Professor Kurt Konhauser at the University of Alberta and Professor Kalle Kirsim
2Scientists believe the earth is 4.6 billion years old.However,the mountains,valleys,rivers,deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that.For example,Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon Rainforest is about 55 million years old.The Baltic Sea,the youngest sea ...
