Chapter 25- Origin of life on earth The earth is estimated to have formed about 4.6 years ago condensing from a cloud of dust and rock. For the first few hundred millions years the Earth was being bombarded by huge chunks of rock and ice. The collisions created enough eat to vaporise the adavible water and prevent seas from forming. The early earth had a reducing atmosphere (electron adding) and there was no oxygen in the atmosphere, and as a result there was no need for an ozone layer to protect the earth from high levels of UV radiation.
