What events were the most important events that ever happened in the history of the earth?

The Earth- a giant hunk of rock and water that's home to the only known life in the universe. It's so vast and old that it seems unchanging, yet it has in fact experienced cataclysmic upheavals and routine facelifts over the course of its 4.5 billion year lifespan. Just like a human being, the earth ages, and as it does it goes through major changes. Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look at the most important events in the Earth's history.

4.5 billion years ago the Earth and most of the solar system was nothing more than a ring of protoplanetary dust circling the sun. However over time gravity gradually drew individual particles of dust together, creating ever larger clumps. Eventually the clumps grew to the size of boulders, then to the size of mountains, and over many millions of years the Earth was formed. Yet this newborn earth was nothing like what you see today, with little if any water and a surface that was perpetually molten. Over millions more years the outer layer cooled however to form a crust, and planetary impacts of comets and asteroids brought all the water that you see today to the Earth from space.

Not long after the Earth's creation it's thought that gravity put it on a collision course with another nascent planet roughly the size of Mars. This planet, named Theia, slammed into the Earth with 100 million times more energy than the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, and hurled vaporized chunks of both bodies out into space. Gravity eventually bound the ejecta together and created our Moon. This impact gave our planet the tilt it has today, which in turn gives us our four seasons, and helped stabilize its spin- two things which scientists believe were critical for the evolution of advanced life.

Our planet is amazing! To imagine what it's gone through and yet never failed to find new ways of recovering from disasters... 💪💪💪

Which point in Earth's history would you like to visit and see firsthand?

So technically everything that had a tiny chance of happening, happened.

The Earth shouldn’t have believed the Asteroid ☄️ when he said “Just The Tip”

Life is amazing. I wish I could see life unfold from a higher power's view from the beginning. Imagine how far your family tree goes and how different their lives were and here we are now, all because they survived 🌎

Earth:
“No…I don’t think I’m ready to do this!”

Asteroid:
“Come on babe, just the tip, I promise!”

I remember 100 million years ago when life first began. It was only yesterday.

I'm convinced that microorganisms came to Earth from far away place already filled with life via one of the asteroids that slammed into it a long time ago, and since Earth didn't have it's magnetic field when it was being formed, radioactive waves from the sun caused the microorganisms to evolve/mutate into something bigger and more advanced, like us

Anyone else amazed that this 10 minute video taught us all more about our planet then our 12 years of school did…

kind of crazy but thanks infographics team you guys are awesome !

If this is what god imagined then I’ll say it is beautiful. Seeing life from above looks beautiful until you look closer and see what’s going on around the world smh

As a disciple of science, I have learned not to simply automatically trust anything anyone tells me, from religions and even to scientists. I still cannot grasp how scientists claim to be able to know so much in such high detail, often getting oddly specific about ephemeral things that ultimately cannot be proven. It's like doing a Math equation and claiming that it somehow tells you what someone you've never met was thinking in their mind one thousand years ago. I'm more interested in the present and moving forward into the future, because the more we dwell on the past the more it looks like people are just making things up.
