Expert Solution

Step 1

The earth formed around 4.5 billion years ago, devoid of any life and atmosphere. Later it cooled and evolved as a result of combined action of physical, chemical and biological processes. By the process of condensation formed the waterbodies, like the oceans, seas, lakes etc. Then emerged the atmosphere, along with newly added oxygen to it. During the process of cooling and evolution the earth disintegrated into four prominent layers, viz., the crust, the mantle, the outer and the inner core.
