Answer: True

The early earth was not stable planet. The early earth atmosphere was reducing and hot. The geosphere was completely unstable and undergoes high seismic activities like earthquake and volcanic eruptions. Now, the geosphere has attained stability due to the colonization of trees and deposition of sediments resulted in rock formation beneath the earth crust which is efficient in preventing the hot lava from mental to come above the earth crust and form lava.
