ORIGIN OF THE EARTH

Theistic

- that our planet is created by God.

Evolutionary creationismBig Bang Theory Universe came about due to a colossal explosion, Nebular Theory the Solar system in its first state was a Nebula, Planetisimal Theory A star passed close to the sun. huge tides were raised on the surface and some of these erupted matters where torn free, Gaseous tidal theory - Gaseous materials condensed, it separated into masses of various sizes, which by further condensation took form of a planet Dynamic Encounter Theory The world was formed out of molten materials from which the sun collided with other planets. Solar Disruption theory- The sun and a big star almost collided in space, which made parts of the sunburst. The pieces formed became planets.

Lithosphere- the lands, all of the earth, from its surface to its center (a) Crust outermost layer of the Earth (b) Mantle - about 800m thick of solid silicate rock (c) Core- contains iron and nickel whose outer core is liquid and inner core is solid Atmosphere- great blanket of gas that covers the earth Hydrosphere- water part of the Earth Weathering- is the crashing of rock at and near the surface of the earth. Physical Weathering- includes the reduction in the size of rock materials.

Chemical Weathering- involves a chemical change in the composition of rocks. Erosion- process that removes loose and weathered rock and carries it to a new site. Wind- can cause erosion History- is the story of human experience Geography- which is concerned with human environment. Location- means something where is. Place- This refers to the physical and human characteristics of a specific location. Movement- transfer of people,good,and ideas from one place to another,

AGE OF METALS -Brought tremendous progress starting with the copper age,followed by the bronze age,and then the iron age -Egyptians first used copper as ornaments. - Man discovered a mixture of copper and tin produced harder metals, -IRON AGE, Hittites learned to smelt a new metal from ore,which is considerably harder,stronger and more durable than either copper or bronze,

Fertile Crescent- Regarded as the first place where Neolithic Revolution occurred Pangea- found in Andes and was considered as one of the centers of agriculture Specialization-described as the development of skill in a specific work
