<em>leaves appear green because the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll is present in the leaves .. when sun light or any other light falls on leaves ,this chlorophyll absorbs all the other colours of light and only reflect green ..so our eye can only detect this green colour and it seems that leaves or chlorophyll is green but actually the matter is with absorption spectrum..
<u>amazing fact :
</u>
if you fall red light on grass at night ,they will appear dark because they wont have any green light to reflect and they will absorb red light ..so our eye cant detect any colour :)</em>

Generally describe what forces ultimately shaped the earth into its modern form
Trava [24]

The force of gravity is a major force that created the earth.  As rocks and ice clumped together as they spun around the newly formed star (sun), the force of gravitational pull increased and attracted more debris (rocks and ice). The clumps of rocks, debris, and ice, therefore, grew into a planet.  

Another is electromagnetic force. The spinning currents in the outer core of the earth create a dynamo effect that forms a magnetic field around the earth. This shields the earth from the solar storms of the sun hence protects life and the atmosphere.

Weak nuclear force is responsible for maintaining the heat of the earth’s interior which is critical for maintaining the dynamo  effect of the outer core so the earth is protected by its magnetic field.
