I: | Water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia released from molten mass covered the surface. |
II: | The UV rays from the sun broke up water into Hydrogen and Oxygen and the lighter H2 escaped. |
III: | Oxygen combined with ammonia and methane to form water, CO2, and other gases. |
IV: | As it cooled, the water vapour fell as rain, filling all the depressions and forming oceans. |

I: | The first form of life could have come from pre-existing non-living organic molecules (e.g. RNA, protein, etc.) |
II: | The formation of life was preceded by chemical evolution, i.e., the formation of diverse organic molecules from inorganic constituents. |
