Exploring Earth's Formation and Its Origins

The video explores the formation of Earth, starting from the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. It describes the cooling of the universe, the formation of the solar system, and the accretion of particles that led to the creation of Earth. Initially, Earth was a hostile environment with lava seas and a toxic atmosphere. Over time, it cooled, forming oceans and a thin crust. The video also covers the formation of Pangaea and the role of plate tectonics in shaping modern continents. It concludes with a mention of Earth Day, promoting ecological awareness.
