Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and continents began to form around 4.6 billion years ago during the planet's early stages of formation. The atmosphere likely evolved from gases released during volcanic activity, while the oceans formed from water vapor that condensed as the Earth cooled. The continents began to form through the process of plate tectonics, with land masses emerging and colliding over millions of years.

How did oxygen begin to build up in the atmosphere and the ocean?
Oxygen began to build up in the atmosphere and oceans through the process of photosynthesis by early cyanobacteria and algae. These organisms converted carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and organic compounds, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. Over time, the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere and oceans led to the Great Oxidation Event around 2.4 billion years ago.
Which area marks boundary where earths atmosphere is constrained by gravity?
magnetosphere.
How does the ocean affect the rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere?
Oceans act as a carbon sink, in fact they are the largest carbon sink absorbing about 1/4 of the CO2 we put into the air. However, with global warming considering that CO2 dissolves better in cold water there is a worry that the oceans will not be able to hold as much CO2 and will begin to release it into the atmosphere
Are the earths continents moving back together?
Not yet--they are still moving apart. Within the next hundred million years or so they should reverse direction and begin moving back together again. Look up "Wilson Cycle" for more information on that.
How did Earth's first enduring atmosphere begin?
Earth's first enduring atmosphere likely formed around 4.5 billion years ago from gases released during the planet's formation, such as hydrogen and helium. Volcanic activity also played a crucial role in shaping the early atmosphere, releasing gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. Over time, the Earth's atmosphere evolved through processes like photosynthesis and the formation of oceans, leading to the composition we have today.
When did the archean era begin?
The Archean Eon began around 4 billion years ago and lasted until about 2.5 billion years ago. It is known for the formation of the Earth's early continents, the emergence of life in the form of bacteria and archaea, and the beginnings of the atmosphere and oceans.
