Geology of the Earth
The evolution of elements in the universe began with the Big Bang, leading to the formation of hydrogen, helium, and heavier elements through stellar processes like fusion and supernovae. Our solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago from a nebula containing a variety of elements. These elements pla
