How is the earth’s creation explained in the Quran? (Need help for a study task)

Assalamu alaykum everyone, I’m working on a little something for my Islamic studies and could really use your help. I’ve been trying to figure out exactly how the Quran describes the creation of the world. I did some digging, but most of what I found talks about the beginnings of Islam itself or goes into Ilm al-Kalam, which isn’t what I need right now. If anyone has some clear verses or trusted tafsir references they could point me to, I’d be very thankful. Jazakum Allahu khayran!

Surah Al-Anbiya verse 30 talks about the heavens and earth being joined then split apart. Ibn Kathir's tafsir explains it nicely. Also check out Surah Fussilat 41:9-12, it lays out the days of creation clearly.

Brother look into the thematic tafsir approach, it ties scattered verses into one narrative. The earth was spread out after the heavens, mountains set firm-all mentioned in Surah An-Nazi'at. Dr. Shabir Ally has a simple breakdown if you want modern English.
