Question 4 • MOHEGAN - EARTH SCIENCE A

Which evidence is most likely used to indicate the beginning of solar system formation?

Answer
A
Materials combined to form a mass.
B
Materials were pulled together by gravity.
C
Water condensed and collected to form oceans.
D
Different species of microorganisms lived on Earth.

Explanation

The solar system began forming when gravity pulled gas and dust in a cloud together, causing the material to gather and eventually form the Sun and planets. Thus, evidence that materials were pulled together by gravity indicates the beginning of solar system formation. Oceans and microorganisms formed much later on Earth.
