When we learn about history we learn that layers at the bottom are older and stuff up top is newer, so it’s like things just keep piling up. Where did we get the stuff then? Will we run out of stuff?

A lot of stuff comes to earth from space for millions of years, which adds up to the Earth’s mass.
>Every day, Earth is bombarded with more than 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles.
>About once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits Earth’s atmosphere, creates an impressive fireball, and burns up before reaching the surface.
>Every 2,000 years or so, a meteoroid the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage to the area.
