Some 4.5 billion years ago, a lump of molten rock began to form in the solar system that eventually evolved into present-day Earth.

Then, around two to three billion years ago, tectonic plates began to form one by one.

The next segment of the video shows the creation of flowing water and continents on a much more stable planet.

Oceans began to form about 3.8 billion years, when gas in the atmosphere cooled and transformed into water that condensed into rain which filled the basins that we now know as our world ocean.

Oceans began to form about 3.8 billion years ago, when gasses like hydrogen sulfide, methane in the atmosphere cooled and transformed into water that condensed into rain which filled the basins that we now know as the Earth's ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

After the water was flowing on Earth, continents began to emerge around the same time, which scientists say was due to the onset of Earth's plate tectonics

Pangea, a supercontinent, existed about 300 million years ago and it began to break apart into pieces that formed the continents we know today

The Earth has fifteen tectonic plates (pictured) that together have moulded the shape of the landscape we see around us today
