1. Earth once started as a little piece of space dust
2. Space dust clumped to a hard rock
3. Asteroids collided into Earth making it bigger and bigger
4. The asteroids eventually turned Earth into an ocean of lava
5. Overtime, the Earth cooled and the layers of the Earth formed
6. The hot iron core pushed up the continents
7. Volcanoes formed on Earth and their chemicals formed our atmosphere.
Hydrogen and oxygen mixed in the air to form rain. Eventually, this rain formed
our oceans
4. Pangaea All of our seven continents were once one large landmass
5. Present Day Continents: The
Earth’s core and mantle have pushed our continents to where they are today.
6. Therefore,
our Earth is constantly moving and changing!
7. Hot
Spots change our Earth by having volcanoes erupt. Luckily, one hot spot
made Hawaii!
8. Plate
Movement changes our Earth because Earth plates are either moving
closer or further apart
9. Tsunami's
change our Earth by creating huge cracks in the Earth’s oceans forming
a deadly wave
10. The
Ring of Fire changes our Earth by having volcanoes erupt along the
coasts of the Pacific Ocean
11. On
Earth we have Seven Continents
