Origin of Earth, Oceans, Life: • Earth: Supernova (explosion of a star-4.6 bya)- earth (nebula made of gas and dust) was formed 4.5 billion years ago. • Oceans: Volcanic expulsion, rained for thousands of years then hit by icy comets; volcanic outgassing and ice from comets • Life: 3.7 billion years ago life was created- animals have been arou...

Mttc Integrated Science (Earth And Space Sciences) Elaborated Questions And Answers Theory of Plate Tectonics - CORRECT ANSWER-A theory stating that Earth's lithosphere is broken into huge plates that move and change in size over time - explains the process of continental drift - theory is a fusion on the theories of continental drift and seafloor spreading - continents are not floating on the ocean, rather they are rooted What are the 10 major plates of the Earth's lithosphere? - C...
