FORMATION OF EARTH Flashcards
states that, in the beginning, the universe was all in one place
Big Bang Theory
is the currently accepted argument about how a Solar System can form
Nebular Hypothesis
- The tremendous amount of material blown out by the explosion eventually formed the stars and galaxies.
ORIGIN OF THE EARTH
- turbulent swirl collect matter measuring meters across
THE NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS
- Small chunks grow and collide, eventually becoming large aggregates of gas and solid chunks.
THE NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS
- Result of contraction and rotation, a flat rapidly rotating disk (proto sun tawag sa gitna nito)
PROTOSTAR
- large gas cloud ( MASS IN THE CENTER, TURBULENCE IN OUTER PART)
NEBULA
- temperature rose to one million °C, resulting in thermonuclear fusion.
SUN
- The enveloping disk of gas and dust forms grains the collide and clump together into small chuncks or planetisimal
BIRTH OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
- Terrestrial planets build up by multiple collision and accretion of planetisimal
BIRTH OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
- Gravitational forces compact solid matter to form the inner planets, while solar radiation blows away gases, primarily hydrogen and helium.
PROTOPLANETS
- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
GAS GIANTS
l - Pluto, Sedna, and objects in the Kuiper Belt
ICE OR FROZEN GAS
- Nakapaikot sa protostar
PLANETISIMAL
- MERCURY TO MARS
INNER PLANETS
- JUPITER TO PLUTO
OUTER
AGE OF THE EARTH -
4,570,000,000 years old
- One of these collisions formed the Moon
BOMBARDMENT FROM SPACE
- Giant Impact Hypothesis, 50 million years, Mars-sized planet, collision, Earth formation, proposed 30 years ago, modern high-speed computers, feasibility.
FORMATION OF THE MOON
Three major factors that caused heating and melting in the early Earth’s interior:
Collisions, Compression, and Radioactivity of elements
- 100 million years after initial accretion
THE CORE
: Formed from solidified magma that floated up from the Mantle
CONTINENTS
- the Earth is thought to have had a thin atmosphere composed primarily of helium (He) and hydrogen (H) gases
THE EVOLVING ATMOSPHERE
- It is hypothesized that water vapor escaping from the interior of the Earth via countless volcanic eruptions created the
