	History of Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of Earth covers approximately 4.567 billion years (4,567,000,000 years), from Earth’s formation out of the solar nebula to the present.
		Earth formed as part of the birth of the solar system: what eventually became the solar system initially existed as a large, rotating cloud of dust and gas.
		Earth's early atmosphere would have comprised surrounding material from the solar nebula, especially light gases such as hydrogen and helium, but the solar wind and Earth's own heat would have driven off this atmosphere.

	Heat history of the earth
		If the earth had grown simply from the random accumulation of planetismals it would have been homogeneous - more or less made of the same material throughout, and the earth cross section to the right would be a uniform blob with no structure.
		All of the geological activity on the earth today is driven from this initial source of heat at the earth's formation, aided and abetted by continued radioactive decay of elements in the earth's interior.
		The earth cooled from the outside in, and the still molten iron-nickle core are the remnants of that heat from the early stage of melting.

		For many years prior to Earth Day, it had been troubling to me that the state of our environment was simply a non-issue in the politics of our country.
		The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda.
		The people cared, and Earth Day became the first opportunity they ever had to join in a nationwide demonstration to send a big message to the politicians--a message to tell them to wake up and do something.

		He would have answered that the Earth was ancient, that there had not been a Noachian flood, and that the species of life had not been fixed over the history of Earth.
		In Europe the issue of the age of the Earth was not a serious one prior to the rise of science; the history of the Earth was assumed to be accounted for in Genesis.
		Using Descartes's cosmology, the assumption that the earth was once entirely flooded, and the observation that the sea level was dropping three inches per century near his home, he calculated the age of the earth to be greater than 2 billion years.

	Geologic History of Earth
		In the very beginning of earth's history, this planet was a giant, red hot, roiling, boiling sea of molten rock - a magma ocean.
		The continual changing and reshaping of the earth's surface that involves the melting down and reconstructing of old rock has pretty much eliminated most of the original rocks that came with earth when it was newly formed.
		Alternately, the earth's climate has also experienced periods of extremely cold weather for such prolonged periods that much of the surface was covered in thick sheets of ice.

	Rammed Earth History
		No doubt alterations took place as methods were traded, but rammed earth was pushed as far as England, and today, almost every European country as a history of rammed earth construction.
		It is believed that a number of the antebellum southern mansions are of rammed earth, but on one has done a case by case study to determine this.
		Documentation of early rammed earth structures in the United States would no doubt show that they were all built in climates we ordinarily do not associate with earth construction, and yet the proof is there - as it is in Europe, that rammed earth is suitable for both wet and dry climates.

	Geologic Time
		The beginning of the Eocene was a period when the Earth was very hot, with palm trees and alligators at the north pole.
		By the end of the Paleozoic, and beginning of the Mesozoic, all the continents of the Earth came together to form the giant continent called PANGAEA and dinosaurs began to roam on land.
		The oldest fossils are of bacteria/archaea dating from 3000 M. The oldest rock is dated at 3800 M. The Earth is thought to be 4600 M years old.

		Thus it came to be that while the peoples of Earth still struggled with the constraints of limited amounts of real-estate offered by a single habitable planet, a reality of galactic magnitude intruded upon humanity with a great splash.
		Eventually several Earth threatening asteroids were captured and gently lowered into the ocean to lay a foundation for the capital that came to be known as the Residence.
		This residence is still being built by the inhabitants of Earth but despite it being unfinished it is already a matter of pride for its builders and it inhabitants.

	Earth's Early History
		The answer may be that the elements in the earth occur in the form of compounds having various melting points, chemical activities, and densities.
		The mantle of the earth, between the crust and the core became the reservoir presumably because magnesium-iron silicates melt less easily than the feldspars, so the principal minerals in the mantle seem to be olivine and pyroxene.
		Presumably most of the earth's gold and platinum---inert as far as oxygen is concerned-sank to the core, while other heavier elements such as uranium and thorium formed lighter oxides which rose to accumulate in the crust.

	Earth Day Fact Sheet: The History of Earth Day
		The first Earth Day represented the culmination of growing public concern over a series of well-publicized environmental disasters in the late 1960s.
		That Earth Day event set the stage for the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the adoption of major environmental laws such as the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts.
		As a result of such improvements, environmentalists say that it is increasingly difficult to mobilize people to address the movement's new goals, such as reducing "greenhouse gas" emissions to deal with the alleged threat of man-made global warming.

	Science and Earth History
		Recent creationists (sometimes called young earth creationists) hold to what they consider to be the simple or plain reading of the text.
		Sometimes called the "day-age" theory, progressive creationists see the "days" of Genesis 1 representing periods of time during which God created the universe, earth, and man. Thus the six days of creation are six geological eras, broadly understood to correspond to the presumed evolutionary history of the earth.
		In this view Genesis 1 not a narrative of natural history, to be compared with the most recent accounts of how scientists think life on earth developed.
