Ask questions to evaluate evidence for the development and composition of Earth’s early systems, including the geosphere (crust, mantle and core), hydrosphere and atmosphere. (Clarification statement: The differentiation by density of Earth into crust, mantle and core should be included in this element.)

What evidence supports the differentiation of Earth into its layers: crust, mantle, and core?
30
The presence of water in Earth's crust demonstrates layering.
The varying densities of materials found within the Earth provide significant evidence for layer formation.
The uniform temperature throughout the Earth shows no layers.
The shape of the Earth indicates its layers.

How did the hydrosphere contribute to the development of Earth's early atmosphere?
30
Moon dust caused the buildup of atmospheric gases.
Cosmic dust brought gases that formed the atmosphere.
Water vapor from volcanic activity played a key role in forming the early atmosphere.
Oxygen from plant photosynthesis was crucial initially.
