几个英语词组用法的问题

有be based on sth. 的词组。e.g. His pay rise is based on his performance.

on the earth 表示在地球表面，相对少见
on earth 多用作加强语气的词组：究竟。e.g. What on earth was she doing in that room for an entire hour? 她呆在那房子里足足一小时，究竟她在搞什麽鬼？
on earth 也可指：世界上或人世间。This is the tallest building on earth.

which 前面加的介系词，如你举例的 in (which) 和 with (which) 是根据从句的动词而来的，
e.g. I read an interesting book in which a lot of colorful pictures were used to illustrate the subject matter. 我看了本很有趣的书，书中用了大量色彩缤纷的照片去解释要讲的东西。
This is the handle with which you pull the door. 这就是你用来拉门的把手。

take up 是开始从事
go in for 是参加或者喜欢上
devote to 则有献身於...之意

break down 是失败、故障
break out 是爆发、突然发生
break into 是闯入（如小偷闯进家里犯案）或打断

1，是be based on
2.on earth究竟
on the earth在地球上
3 我们要看回原句是怎样，实际用哪个介词，例如
