When was this Earth formed according to some scientists?
- A.
45000 million years ago
- B.
4000 million years ago
- C.
5000 million years ago
- D.
6000 million years ago
Correct Answer
B. 4000 million years agoExplanation
According to some scientists, the Earth was formed approximately 4000 million years ago. This estimate is based on various geological and astronomical evidence, such as the age of the oldest rocks on Earth and the dating of meteorites. By studying these materials and analyzing their isotopic composition, scientists have been able to determine the approximate age of our planet. This estimate aligns with the current understanding of the formation of the solar system, which suggests that the Earth was formed around the same time as the rest of the planets.Rate this question:

- A.
Big Bag Theory
- B.
Big Apple Theory
- C.
Big Bang Theory
Correct Answer
C. Big Bang TheoryExplanation
The theory which explains the beginning of the Earth is known as the Big Bang Theory. This theory suggests that the universe originated from a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, around 13.8 billion years ago. It states that the universe has been expanding ever since, and provides explanations for the formation of galaxies, stars, and planets, including Earth. The Big Bang Theory is widely accepted by scientists and is supported by various observational evidence, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation.Rate this question:

While the exact nature of the first living thing is still a topic of scientific research and debate, green slime is a plausible explanation based on current knowledge.Rate this question:

If we imagine that the Earth began 24 hours ago, then the first ape man appeared only _________________ seconds ago.
- A.
44
- B.
64
- C.
54
- D.
34
Correct Answer
C. 54Explanation
If we imagine that the Earth began 24 hours ago, then the first ape man appeared only 54 seconds ago. This can be calculated by dividing the 24 hours (which is equivalent to 86,400 seconds) by the number of ape men that appeared. Since there is only one ape man mentioned in the question, we divide 86,400 by 1, resulting in 54 seconds.Rate this question:
