Rocky planets like Earth formed within the first hundreds of millions of years of our solar system. Growing through impacts by planetary bodies, the energy and heat of these events created magma oceans and important chemical changes on our planet \u2013 including the formation of the Earth\u2019s metallic core. These early geological processes led to the formation of our modern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how do we know the age of the Earth, or that it was a molten ball of magma early in its history? There are no rocks from that period and no geological record from these events. This presentation will explore how scientists have been able to find evidence from Earth\u2019s early existence and will discuss how evidence may still lurk in our planet\u2019s interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
