Question

The timeline of earth's history is out of order! rearrange the events into the correct order, with the first (oldest) event at the top of the timeline. the matter that was leftover after the sun's formation is pulled together by gravity. earth is very hot and mostly made of molten rock. no life exists on the planet. earth starts to cool down, and its atmosphere starts to form. oceans and small, single-celled organisms appear. multicellular lifeforms, such as aquatic plants, start to develop. fish and other complex sea creatures begin to spread. the first trees appear on land. dinosaurs roam the earth. huge forests made of large land plants arise. mammals, insects, and birds take over as most of the dinosaurs die out.

Answer 1

The correct chronological order begins with the leftover matter from the sun's formation and ends with mammals, insects, and birds thriving after the dinosaurs' extinction.

Step-by-step explanation:

To place the events in the correct order from oldest to most recent:

1. The matter that was leftover after the sun's formation is pulled together by gravity.
2. Earth is very hot and mostly made of molten rock. No life exists on the planet.
3. Earth starts to cool down, and its atmosphere starts to form.
4. Oceans form as the Earth continues to cool.
5. Single-celled organisms appear in the oceans.
6. Multicellular lifeforms, such as aquatic plants, start to develop.
7. Fish and other complex sea creatures begin to spread.
8. Huge forests made of large land plants arise.
9. The first trees appear on land.
10. Dinosaurs roam the Earth.
11. Mammals, insects, and birds take over as most of the dinosaurs die out.

This timeline aligns with our understanding of geological and biological evolution. The Earth's crust formed, oceans condensed, and the atmosphere developed, creating a conducive environment for life. Over billions of years, life evolved from simple microorganisms to the complex flora and fauna we see today.
