Biology

Allotropes of carbon includes substances such as graphite, diamond or buckminsterfullerene.



They’re all similar in the thing that they’re all made out of carbon only.


However, their structure is different, such as graphite has a layer structure, diamond has a tetrahedral structure, and buckminsterfullerene has a spherical structure.  



Since they have different structures, they have different physical properties too. For example, diamond is hard because all the carbon atoms in the structure is held together by strong covalent bonds, while graphite are graphene layers that are held by weak intermolecular forces which makes the layers slide over each other easily thus making graphite soft.

The oldest rocks found on Earth are 3.96 billion years old. However, scientists believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old
MAVERICK [17]
As the earth has active tectonics we know that rocks are recycled and the oldest rocks may therefore just be the oldest rocks that have not been recycled yet. We know the true age of the earth by looking at radioactive isotopes of things like spacedust and meteors that formed at the same time as the earth as they have not been affected by the tectonic process of recycling here on Earth.
