Formation of the Earth (Part 2)


In the formation of the earth water was poured and not sent down. It mean that the Almighty God would cool the earth down. Sayyid Quthub’s interpretation on this pouring water wrote that the water was at first resisted by high degree of heat on the Earth Crust. No water could approach the surface of the earth.
Molecule of water (H2O) was broken down by high temperature of the crust  into free elements of hydrogen and oxygen. Boiling point of water is just 100 degrees Centigrade, while the temperature of the earth was as high as 12.000 degrees Centigrade.

 Due to the water was poured, and the earth’s surface released and lost it heat gradually, finally the water reached the surface of the earth and resides somewhere on the surface in the ground as liquid and on the atmosphere as gas or vapour. So, with water the hot earth was cooled.

After the earth cool and water placed in the basins as lakes, rivers an oceans. Water flowing over and beneath the earth is a key component of the cycling biogeochemical. Rainfall splashes over the outermost of earth crust, will gradually break the soil particles causing sheet erosion. Runoff eroded the surface forming rill erosion, and further deepers the rill to form gully as if the ground is clove.

By means of water the crust of the earth has been split into fragments. This natural occurrence is in accordance with the verse "And We split the earth in fragments. And cause the grain to grow therein” Water is the initial agent in earth evolution. The Almighty God proceeded the formation of the crust of the earth by splitting it. Chemically, water is a good solvent and physically was the first and the only material in contact with the earth. Fragmentation of the crack earth into smaller particles by water.

Water as physical entity eroded the crust of the earth through erosion, and as chemical substance decomposed the earth through the decomposition process. The crust of earth is broken down into soil particles smaller and smaller in size leading to form perfect soil texture. Soil texture refers to as the amount of sand, silt and clay fraction in a soil sample. The distribution of particle size determines the soil texture. A good soil texture is a balance composition of soil fractions enabling the growth and development of plant roots.

Then, after the earth is formed suitable for cultivation, The Almighty God grew seeds therein. Allah prepared the earth for His creatures in perfect condition, plant and vegetation were grown. In the agricultural or biological view point, vegetation is the first chain of life cycle. Vegetation supplies food for human and herbivorous animal, and herbivorous animal will supply meat for human or be the prey of carnivorous animal. However, this life cycle is depends on water. All of these living organisms will not survive in the extinct of water.

With water all living organisms survive their life. And with water the Almighty God commenced the formation of the Earth.
