There are many different layers within the Earth. The core is at center of the Earth. The Earth’s core takes up sixteen percent of Earth’s volume‚ containing thirty-three percent of its Mass ..Pressure rises steadily inside the earth because of the weight of overlying rock. Therefore ‚the Pressure at the outer boundary of the core reaches 1.37 million atmospheres‚ 3.7 million Atmospheres.

the organism. Q: Based on the conditions of early Earth‚ what conclusion can you draw about the amount of anaerobic respiration that was occurring at Earth’s beginning? Explain your answer. A: The atmosphere of early Earth was made up with almost of different nitrogen gases‚ water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Huge amounts of debris were ejected into orbit around the Earth‚ where most of it coalesced into the Moon. The other moons in the solar system have different origins. The small ones are mostly captured asteroids‚ I think‚ while many of the larger ones (e.g. Ganymede) are thought to have formed in orbit
