Over 13.5 billions years ago‚ a gigantic explosion produce energy and fundamental particle that created the universe. This mean that all the things that we see today such as rock‚ animal‚ plant‚ water was created during that time. First‚ quark is formed which is proton

mountains are formed. Simply put‚ they are the result of tectonic forces or volcanism.’’(Universe 2016) The Ox Mountains are a fold mountain range. Fold Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide at convergent plate boundaries. During this process the less dense crust to float over the denser plate. The material is then forced upwards

chain of waves. The main cause of tsunamis are submarine earthquakes. These are most common at subduction zones. Friction between subducting plates causes a build-up of pressure‚ eventually this pressure is released causing an earthquake. These submarine earthquakes can displace huge volumes of water. On the 26th December 2004 at the Indian plate/ Burma plate subduction zone‚ lots of pressure was suddenly released north-west of the coast of Sumatra‚ resulting in a megathrust earthquake of 9.1 on the

Archeozoic Era The Archeozoic Era stretches from about 3.8 billion to 2.5 billion years ago. Traditionally‚ the beginning of the Archean is defined to coincide with the oldest rocks discovered. As recent discoveries have pushed back the earliest dated rocks to about 4.0 billion years old‚ the beginning of the Archean has also been pushed back correspondingly. However‚ most texts still continue to date the beginning to 3.8 billion years ago. As the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) ended with the Hadean
