15、 violent because it was not clear whether the solid shape was to last or not.It exploded loudly with fire and rock,which were in time to produce the water vapour,carbon dioxide,oxygen,nitrogen and other gases, which were to make the earths atmosphere.As the earth cooled down,water began to appear on
16、 its surface.Nobody knew that it was going to be different from other planets going round the sun.Water had already disappeared from planets like Mars or satellites like the moon,but it stayed on the earth. This is how the earth began to show its special qualities.Many people think that this was imp
17、ortant for the beginning of life.

They became the most important animals on the earth for millions of years. But when they disappeared,mammals became more important.They were the last group o
21、f animals and they were different because they produced their young from whithin their bodies.Small clever animals,now with hands and feet,appeared and spread all over the earth.They developed new methods of growing food,hunting and moving around.As time went by they covered the earth and have becom
22、e the most important animals on the planet.But they are not taking care of the earth very well.They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space.The earth may become too hot for the lives on it.Whether life will continue on the e
