How did oxygen first appear in the atmosphere?

It is believed that when primitive algae flourished on an early earth, they pumped out zillions of cubic kilometres of this gas. Before them, oxygen wasn't around in the atmosphere in very large quantities. After long, long periods of time, the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere rose. It is to these early life forms that we owe the "air" and the atmosphere that supports us now.


Is the earth a stationary object in the lunar sky?

No, it is not. This will seem wrong to people who are aware that the moon's orbit it tidally locked with earth. Observed over a long enough period, the moon has a distinct wobble that comes from what is called libration. It results from the fact that the moon's orbital velocity around the earth is not constant, while the moon's rotational velocity is for all practical purposes constant. So the earth will appear to move a bit in the lunar sky. This is an apparent motion and not a true motion. It occurs to me that there must be places on the moon where the earth would appear, over the course of a lunar cycle, unable to decide whether to rise or to set! It would appear to bob up and down at the moon's horizon.

Why sedimentary rocks could not have been the first rocks on earth?

water is needed, and long periods of deposit of sediment at the bottom, to form the sedimentary rocks. A hot, molton earth could not have created such rocks.


How long have earthquakes been around?

The earth's crust is first thought to have formed around 100 million years after the initial formation of the earth. As such it is likely that there have been earthquakes occurring for approximately 4.4 billion years.
