Soil is the collection of natural bodies that form in earthy material on the land surface. The term is popularly applied to the material on the surface of the earth's moon and Mars, a usage acceptable within a portion of the scientific community.\n\nSoil consists of mineral and organic matter, as well as living organisms. Soil, comprising the pedosphere, is positioned at the interface of the lithosphere with the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Pedogenesis produces soil from geologic materials such as granite, limestone, glacial drift, loess and alluvium through a combination of climatic and biogeochemical processes.\n\nSoil is among our most important natural resources because of its position in the landscape and its dynamic, physical, chemical, and biologic functions. Indeed, engineers, agronomists, chemists, geologists, geographers, biologists, microbiologists, sylviculturists, sanitarians, archaeologists, and specialists in regional planning, all depend on, and contribute to, knowledge of soils. While the general concept of soil is well established, the definition of soil varies, according to the perspective of the discipline or occupation using soil as a resource.\n\nThe understanding of soil is incomplete. Despite the duration of mankind's dependence on and curiosity about soil, exploring the diversity and dynamic of this resource continues to yield fresh discoveries and insights. New avenues of soil research are compelled by our need to understand soil in the context of climate change , greenhouse gases , and carbon sequestration.  Our interest in maintaining the planet's biodiversity and in exploring past cultures has also stimulated renewed interest in achieving a more refined understanding of soil.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil#Soil_classification\n\n\nif you mean Earth,click here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

The Earth is not Hollow. Below the 60 Km crust is the semi-liquid Mantle. The core at the center is Solid.

it was a ball of burning gas that seperated from the sun billions of years ago, got trapped in the suns gravity and began revolving around it, and in time it cooled down and formed the earth, but it was still too hot for life, it cooled more and more and the atmosphere shaped from the fumes rising from it, eventually it rained and made huge oceans on earth which later became the home for the first cells that later made all different living things.

The earth is made of around 6 major plates with a number of smaller plates. These plates which are part of the earths crust are floating on an area of the earth just below the crust known as the mantle. The mantle is basically very viscous magma which isn't a liquid but at the same time not solid. Its really disgusting but think of it as tramped dog poo. These plates are floating on this material. The mantle is producing whats known as convection currents. These currents are rotating very slowly in different areas. Some currents are spinning clockwise and others are spinning counter clockwise. One plate is sitting on one current with the other sitting on the other current. Because the currents are spinning in opposite directions the plates slowly move apart. These are known as divergent plates. Other plates and pushing together and are known as convergent boundary's. The the plates are either pushing against each causing mountains to form such as the Himalayas or splitting apart as in the case of Africa and south America. Mount Everest is actually growing in height a couple cm a year.

The earth (and its chemical reactions) wasn't born until about 8 billion years after the Big Bang ... things had slowed down a bit by then.

That's a good question. I'm quite sure "God made it" isn't the answer you're looking for, especially since you posted this in the science section. \n\nReligion seems to have all the answers, but those answers never satisfy the appetite of curiosity and learning. Below are several different worded versions of the same basic theory of how the Earth (and other planets) formed. \n\nBe sure to check out the sources.\n\n1. The planets formed from the material left over as a result of our sun's formation. As the nebulous cloud condensed and began to rotate, most of the gas condensed into what is now our sun. The remaining material formed what is now the planets and the other bodies in our solar system.\n\n2. The prevailing theory is that they are formed from those remnants of a nebula that do not condense under gravity to form a protostar. Instead, these remnants become a thin disc of dust and gas revolving around the protostar and begin to condense about local concentrations of mass within the disc. These concentrations become ever more dense until they collapse inward under gravity to form protoplanets. When the protostar has grown such that it ignites to form a star, its solar wind blows away most of the disc's remaining material. Thereafter there still may be many protoplanets orbiting the star or each other, but over time many will collide, either to form a single larger planet or release material for other larger protoplanets or planets to absorb. Meanwhile, protoplanets that have avoided collisions may become moons of larger planets.\n\n3. The most widely accepted model for the origin of the Solar System is called the  nebula theory. Most generally phrased, the theory states that the Solar System condensed from a large, lumpy cloud of cold gas and dust.\n\n4. Solar Nebula Theory

Earth science is any of several essentially geologic sciences that are concerned with the origin, structure, and physical phenomena of the earth.

Earth is the only place in the universe where life is absolutely known to exist, and some scientists believe that biospheres might be rare. The planet's lifeforms are sometimes said to form a "biosphere". This biosphere is generally believed to have begun evolving about 3.5 billion (3.5×109) years ago.\n\nThe biosphere is divided into a number of biomes, inhabited by broadly similar flora and fauna. On land, biomes are separated primarily by latitude. Terrestrial biomes lying within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles are relatively barren of plant and animal life, while most of the more populous biomes lie near the Equator.\n\nThe Earth consists of several atmospheric, hydrologic, and many geologic layers. Its components are the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the crust, the mantle, and its core. The biosphere is a tiny layer in this composition and is usually not considered part of the physical layers of the Earth.

The matter that made up the sun and planets existed at one time as a very large disk. As the matter clumped together, it was already on the same plane. That's the theory, anyway.

What do you want to know about the creation of the earth? Our solar system condensed from a cloud of gas and dust about 5 billion years ago. This was induced by the gravity of that gas and dust. Most of the mass was incorporated into the sun or blown away when the sun's fusion reactions started. The remaining planetoids went through a period when they collided and merged forming the major planets including the earth. There is evidence that a Mars-sized object hit the earth fairly early on, forming the moon.

Up until the time that the earth started forming, the sun had time (I can't speculate, but probably a few billion years) to begin it's nuclear fusion and begin burning. Sol would have been surrounded by thick clouds of dust, ice and gases (see planetary nebulae). The particles of gas and dust began to clump together into larger and larger pieces and began spinning around the sun either falling in their maintainable orbits or falling back into the sun. These clumps continued to come together and the planets were formed in their respective distances around the sun.

Abu  Gabal are you another Muslim trying to stop free speech?\n\nIt is a perfectly ligitimate query.  If you have no idea who or why then say so dont question the questioner.\n\nThe Earth was created by the big bang.  Life was created after that by the gases and chemicals etc,   The creation of the solar systems and other solar systems will remain a mystery for the time being. \n\nMaybe an early life force similar to ours happened in a similar manner billions of billions of years ago and they now know how to preserve the soul/spirit.  We maybe be at the early stages of similar.

The earth didn´t quite form from the sun. They were formed out of the same dust and gas cloud though. The planets can be considered as debris left over from the formation of the sun. The sun contains enough heavy materials to build many many earths.\n\nAll the planets had thick atmospheres with lighter elements in the beginning. The planets farther out had a greater mass and collected more. When fusion began in the core of the protosun huge amounts of energy began blasting all planets. Their atmospheres heated. Heat is kinetic energy inbetween atoms and molecules. That new motion made it possible for lighter elements to reach escape velocity. Mercury, being closest to the sun, quickly lost its atmosphere. \nVenus is much heavier but still couldn´t hold on to hydrogen and helium. \nThe same goes for earth where there is no primordial hydrogen left. Earth is heavy enough and far enough from the sun to retain elements heavier than 3 Us so there is He4 in earths atmosphere while He3 is virtually nonexistent. \n\nSo heavier gasses such as water vapor, CO2 and Nitrogen remained in earths atmosphere and its density was much like that of Venus, about 70 times denser as now. As earth cooled down water oceans formed that dissolved a lot of CO2. The CO2 then reacted chemically with hydroxides in the oceans to form carbonates. This process sucked alot of CO2 out of the atmosphere. Later lifeforms began using the same process to create protective shells and speeded up the process. \n\nBut the most devastating thing to the primordial  atmosphere was the event of blue green algea. They took up CO2 and produced oxygen as a waste product. Apart from being poisonous to the organisms that lived in the oceans at the time it is also highly reactive and immediately bonded with iron dissolved in the oceans. The ironoxides then settled on the bottoms of the oceans. It took 2 billion year for the oxygen to run out of iron to react with. Only then did it begin to build up in the atmosphere. \n\nOn earth geological processes return some of the gasses trapped from these chemical and biological processes. If it weren´t for them earth would hardly have an atmosphere today.
