What continents lie mostly east of the prime meridian?

Geography

4 0

The continents that lie mostly east of the prime meridian are Asia, Australia, and Africa.

Asia and Australia are continents that are situated completely to the east of the prime meridian. Africa is divided, as the prime meridian cuts through it. Still we can say that Africa is a continent that is situated mostly on the east of the prime meridian, considering the fact that the prime meridian cuts only through the western part of the continent, so only small portion of it is on the west of the prime meridian.

Asia is also a continent that is almost totally on the Northern Hemisphere. Australia is a continent that lies totally on the Southern Hemisphere. Africa, again, is divided, as the equator runs through the middle part of it, thus making it a continent on both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Scientists believe that earth and the other plants formed
topjm [15]

The correct answer is - from solar nebula.

The Earth and the other planets in the Solar System are thought to have formed from solar nebula. This solar nebula is believed to have been a left over from the Sun's formation, being consisted of gas and dust in a disc-shape. The material in this disc-shaped gas and dust started to merge gradually, thus little by little forming bigger and bigger objects, and as the objects were getting bigger they had bigger gravitational pull so more and more material was attracted toward them. Because of the very big gravitational pull of the Sun these objects were not able to wander into the space but were instead kept close to the Sun. Because of the orbiting around the Sun, they all started to take a rounded shape. Some planets as the Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury became terrestrial planets, while the likes of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune became gas giants.
