Earth's early history shaped by geological processes from "summary" of A Short History of the World . by H. G. Wells
The story of our Earth begins long before the first human walked on its surface. It starts with the formation of the planet itself, a process that took billions of years. During this time, powerful geological processes were at work, shaping the land, the seas, and the atmosphere. The early Earth was a turbulent place, with volcanoes erupting, earthquakes shaking the ground, and oceans forming and evaporating. These processes were driven by the heat trapped within the planet, a remnant of its formation from a spinning cloud of dust and gas. One of the key geological processes that shaped the early Earth was plate tectonics. This is the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, or outer shell, on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it. As the plates move, they collide, slide past each other, or pull apart, creating mountains, valleys, and oceans. Another important p...
