Description
Formation of Earth: From Cosmic Dust to a Living Planet provides a detailed yet easy-to-understand exploration of how Earth came into existence and evolved over billions of years. The book follows the complete scientific timeline of Earth's formation, beginning with the origins of the universe and ending with the creation of oceans and the early atmosphere.
>The second section focuses on the birth of Earth itself. Readers will learn about planetesimals, proto-planets, violent cosmic collisions, and the famous Giant Impact Hypothesis that explains how the Moon was formed. The book also explores Earth's internal structure, including the development of the core, mantle, and crust. The final section examines Earth's early geological evolution. It explains how the young planet cooled, how volcanic activity shaped the surface, how gases formed the primitive atmosphere, and how water eventually created the first oceans. Written in simple and engaging language, this book is designed for readers who want to understand the scientific story behind Earth's creation without needing advanced scientific knowledge. It combines astronomy, geology, and planetary science into a fascinating journey through time and space.
