While in this molten state, lighter rock-forming materials (造岩材料) floated on
24、 the surface of the heavier ones.

Rain falling towar
25、d the still-hot earth was heated to steam and rose to the clouds again. After many millions of years, as the earth continued to cool, its surface temperature fell below the boiling point of water. Rainwater could now remain on the earth, covering its whole surface except for the higher places on ear
26、th that had been formed from the lighter rock materials.In 1970, scientists had pieced together evidence that the lighter rock materials had formed one huge continent by a vast ocean.
