Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1QP
To determine
Chronological order the given steps in the formation and evolution of earth.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1QP
The order is d, b, c, f, a, e.
Explanation of Solution
The chronological order of the formation and evolution of earth is,
Hydrogen and helium are captured from the protoplanetary disk.
Hydrogen and helium are lost from the atmosphere.
Volcanos, comets and asteroids increase the inventory of volatile matter.
Life releases carbon dioxide from the subsurface into the atmosphere.
Plant life converts CO2 to oxygen
Oxygen enables the growth of new life forms.
Conclusion:
The order is d, b, c, f, a, e.
