Geologists study the Earth to learn our planet’s natural history. But the reason behind the planet’s birth still remains a mystery. Won’t you join me on a very special journey through geologic time? Four billion, six hundred million years have passed so please don’t mind me if I move somewhat fast through the story. Rocks are the geologist’s inventory of information. They give us clues to their formation. Ever since its creation, the Earth has been dynamic and constantly changing. All of our panoramic views are always rearranging themselves ever so slowly over time. The oldest slice of time is called the Precambrian which is broken into three, beginning with Hadean, and as you can see, our Earth is thought to have been covered by a sea of magma! Could you have handled it? A bombardment of meteorites also hit and continue to hit our planet.
