Hey! Happy New Years! I'm back posting again!
About the Science posts, I do different books at different times, so I don't say when a new book is narrated.

The Sea Around Us Ch. 1
In the beginning, the earth was detached from its parent planet the sun. The earth was a ball of swirling gases, propelled through space super fast. They gases slowly cooled and liquified. The heavier liquids slowly settled to the bottom, so the core of the earth is hot liquid iron, the outer core is basalt, and the last layer is graphite, mixed with some basalt. This layer is relatively thin compared to the other layers.
Now, all the oceans except the Pacific have a thin layer of graphite at the bottom. Where is the graphite on the Pacific's bottom? The most convenient assumption is that when the earth was still in a liquid state, that the tides created by the sun, enhanced by the movement of the earth, grew higher day by day, until they created a tidal wave, and that flew off and created the moon, which was then thrown into orbit. This probably took place after some of the cooling had taken place, because the moon have less density than the earth (5.5 to 3.3), suggesting that it picked up none of the iron, but only the basalt and graphite of the last layer. The earth was covered in thick clouds that held all the water. Rain poured down into waiting basins.
In the beginning, the sea probably was only slightly salty, but as the rain washed down rock and minerals, it became saltier.
This is just a written narration. I do not hold these views.
