• In amphibolites

• In a cave

• The moon

• In a meteorite

What is the circle in the video that is moving around?

• Salt

• Iron

• Water

• Amphibolite

How were the oceans formed on Earth AND how long did it take to form the oceans?

What chemicals were found in the meteorites?

• Amino Acids

• Stomach Acids

• Lactic Acids

• Citric Acids

Before finding the meteorites, where did scientists believe amino acids came from?

• The oceans

• Outer Space

• Chemical Reactions on Earth

• Amazon

Why were scientists so focused on trying to find out where amino acids came from? (why are amino acids so important?)

What did meteorites bring to Earth?

• Water

• Amino Acids

• Water and Amino Acids

• Iron

• Iron, water, and Amino Acids

Stromatolites are important to Earth's history because they help to explain how...
