Granitic crust, a.k.a continental crust, began to form, which happened to be less dense than oceanic crust. Therefore, the continental crust went on top of the oceanic, thus creating the first land mass on Earth.

What was the first life form on earth?
Cyanobacteria. was a late arrival.No one know what the first cells were nor do we understand their chemistry,but the most likely candidates were self reproducing proteins (like prions) somehow bound together.
What was the first living creature on earth?
This question depends on what you mean by, "Living creature." The first single celled organisms predated bacterium and their DNA most likely contained only the most basic design. These creatures later helped form an atmosphere of CO2 and O2, paving the way for larger Oxygen-reliant organisms.
Are insects the most numerous life form on earth?
No. (See related question below, "What is the most abundant form of life on Earth?").
How did zombies form?
During the 1800s a virus entered beautiful earth. If the living infected by the virus died they would form into zombies.
How long have honeybees been on the earth?
The first bee-like creatures evolved around 146-74 Million years ago, with the closest form of honeybees (Apis) around 22 Million years ago.
What causes winds and tides?
Tides are caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon. The tides interact with the continental plates to form currents, which can also be created or altered by temperature differences in the sea. Winds are caused by the motion of air masses when the atmosphere is heated by the Sun, or cooled by colder land and ice surfaces. Air masses are also steered by the spinning of the Earth.
How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
What caused different layers to form on earth?
mass
How does unequal heating of earth affect the movement of air masses?
Unequal heating cause air masses to form fronts. Fronts are masses that contain air that is all the same temperature and at the same altitude.
What do maritime masses form?
Maritime Masses form over water.
What do maritime Masses form over?
Maritime Masses form over water.
What do continental masses form over?
Continental Masses form over Land.
Where do continental air masses form?
Continental air masses form in the United States
When large masses of magma solidify far below earth's surface they form igneous rocks that have?
Coarse-grained texture
Visible masses if tiny water droplets above Earth's surface?
The tiny water droplets in the sky form clouds.
Weather is caused by the interaction of air sun water which form?
Weather is caused by the interaction of air,water,and sun. This forms air masses which can soon form fronts where air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
When masses combine to form elements with larger masses?
Atomic fusion occurs when masses combine to form elements with larger mass.
