The IRS requires intra-family loan rates to reflect the current commercial loan market. If your loan requires little or no interest, you may be required to pay taxes, Cunningham says.
Clouds formed as the Earth began to cool, producing enormous volumes of rainwater that formed the oceans. For the next 1.3 billion years (3.8 to 2.5 billion years ago), the Archean Period, first life began to appear and the worldâs landmasses began to form. Earthâs initial life forms were bacteria, which could survive in the highly toxic atmosphere that existed during this time.
Evolution of the atmosphere. Scientists believe that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Its early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes. It is believed that there was intense volcanic activity for the first billion years of the Earth's existence.The early atmosphere was probably mostly carbon dioxide, with little or no oxygen.There were small quantities of water vapour, ammonia and methane. As the Earth cooled down, most of the water vapour condensed and formed the oceans.ts early atmosphere was probably formed from the gases given out by volcanoes.
