Question
when we come to questions about the past and the truth at the same time, what tense should be used? for instance:
1. How was the Earth made?
2. How is the Earth made?
what tense do you suggest to be used in this question?
By the way, the following questions are one and the same. They are just different ways of asking the same question. Are they all grammatically correct?
1. what tense should it be?
2. what tense should be used?
3. what tense should it be used?
Thank you.

Anonymous1. How was the Earth made?"was" seems better to me, assuming that you are referring to the processes by which the Earth was created. (If you are asking about the composition of the Earth then you can say "What is the Earth made of?")
2. How is the Earth made?
