Here is one opinion: The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago from the same nebula cloud of gas and dust that the Sun and the eight other planets were formed (similar to the one pictured to the left). However, Earth then was very different from Earth now, and it would have been impossible for life to exist on it. In fact, it is only quite recently in the Earth's 4,600,000,000 year long life that life, resembling modern-day life, has been possible, first with the dinosaurs over 200,000,000 years ago and now with humans and other animals. The Earth is still being formed now. It still has a molten centre which causes volcanoes to ocassionally erupt, and plates on the surface are constantly "swimming" meaning that they collide with other plates and cause earthquakes. On this page, we will look at how Earth settled to become like the planet it is now. # http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/bobalien99/earthform.htm But personally, I don't have a clue. I think this relates to a question I asked recently: # http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/155476
