Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Formation of Earth's structure

Dust, rock, and ice were pulled together by gravity. This is the initial step in the formation of Earth - like bodies in the solar system.

Step2: Core formation

Dense melted material sank to form the core. After the initial accretion (pulling together of dust, rock, and ice), denser materials (like iron and nickel) melted (due to heat from radioactive decay and impact energy) and sank to form the core.

Step3: First atmosphere

Earth's gravity captured gases to form the first atmosphere. Once the core and mantle (from less - dense materials that did not sink) started to take shape, Earth's gravity was strong enough to capture some gases (probably from volcanic outgassing and remnants of the solar nebula) to form the first atmosphere.

Step4: Crust formation

Less dense material cooled, hardened, and formed the crust. After the core and atmosphere were in place (to some extent), the less - dense outer layers (mantle materials that were on the surface) cooled and solidified to form the crust.

Answer:

  1. Dust, rock, and ice were pulled together by gravity.
  2. Dense melted material sank to form the core.
  3. Earth’s gravity captured gases to form the first atmosphere.
  4. Less dense material cooled, hardened, and formed the crust.
