The '''origin of water on Earth''', or the reason that there is clearly more [[water]] on the Earth than on the other planets of the [[Solar System]], has not been clarified. There are several acknowledged theories as to how the world's [[ocean]]s were formed over the past [[History of Earth|4.6 billion years]].

Some of the most likely contributory factors to the origin of the [[Earth]]'s oceans are as follows:
 
*The cooling down of the [[Hadean|primordial]] world to the point where the [[Outgassing|outgassed]] volatile components were held in an [[Earth's atmosphere|atmosphere]] of sufficient [[Atmospheric pressure|pressure]] for the stabilization and retention of liquid water.
*[[Comet]]s, [[trans-Neptunian object]]s or water-rich [[meteoroid]]s ([[protoplanet]]s) from the outer reaches of the main [[asteroid belt]] colliding with the Earth may have brought water to the world's oceans. Measurements of the ratio of the [[hydrogen]] [[isotope]]s [[deuterium]] and [[hydrogen-1|protium]] point to [[asteroid]]s, since similar percentage impurities in carbon-rich [[chondrites]] were found in oceanic water, whereas previous measurement of the isotopes' concentrations in comets and trans-Neptunian objects correspond only slightly to water on the Earth.
*Biochemically through [[Mineralization (geology)|mineralization]] and [[photosynthesis]].{{Citation needed|reason=It is common knowledge that photosynthesis doesn't create water, and to my knowledge, mineralization neither.|date=February 2013}}
*Gradual leakage of water stored in [[Hydrate|hydrous]] [[mineral]]s of the Earth's [[Rock (geology)|rocks]].
*[[Photodissociation|Photolysis]]: [[radiation]] can break down chemical bonds on the surface.

A sizeable quantity of water would have been in the material which formed the Earth.<ref name="source_mrk1"/><ref name="source_mrk2"/> Water molecules would have escaped Earth's gravity more easily when it was less [[mass]]ive during its formation. Hydrogen and helium are expected to continually leak from the atmosphere, but the lack of denser [[noble gas]]es in the modern atmosphere suggests that something disastrous happened to the early atmosphere.
 
Part of the young planet is theorized to have been disrupted by the [[giant impact hypothesis|impact which created the Moon]], which should have caused melting of one or two large areas. Present composition does not match complete melting and it is hard to completely melt and mix huge rock masses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/scitech/display.cfm?ST_ID=446 |title=Solar System Exploration: Science & Technology: Science Features: View Feature |publisher=Solarsystem.nasa.gov |date=2004-04-26 |accessdate=2009-08-20}}</ref> However, a fair fraction of material should have been vaporized by this impact, creating a rock-vapor atmosphere around the young planet. The rock-vapor would have condensed within two thousand years, leaving behind hot volatiles which probably resulted in a heavy [[carbon dioxide]] atmosphere with hydrogen and [[water vapor]]. Liquid water oceans existed despite the surface temperature of 230°C because of the atmospheric pressure of the heavy CO<sub>2</sub> atmosphere. As cooling continued, [[subduction]] and dissolving in ocean water removed most CO<sub>2</sub> from the atmosphere but levels oscillated wildly as new surface and [[Mantle (geology)|mantle]] cycles appeared.<ref>{{cite web|author=N.

That the Earth's water originated purely from comets is implausible, as a result of measurements of the isotope ratios of hydrogen in the three comets [[Halley's Comet|Halley]], [[Hyakutake]] and [[Hale-Bopp]] by researchers like [[David Jewitt]], as according to this research the ratio of [[deuterium]] to [[hydrogen-1|protium]] (D/H ratio) of the comets is approximately double that of oceanic water.

[[Meteoritics & Planetary Science]] 35, 2000, S. 1309–1329</ref> the largest part of today's water comes from protoplanets formed in the outer asteroid belt that plunged towards the Earth, as indicated by the D/H proportions in carbon-rich chondrites. The water in carbon-rich chondrites point to a similar D/H ratio as oceanic water. Nevertheless, mechanisms have been proposed<ref>H. Genda, M. Ikoma, Origin of the Ocean on the Earth: Early Evolution of Water D/H in a Hydrogen-rich Atmosphere. Accessible at http://arxiv.org/abs/0709.2025</ref> to suggest that the D/H-ratio of oceanic water may have increased significantly throughout Earth's history. Such a proposal is consistent with the possibility that a significant amount of the water on Earth was already present during the planet's early evolution.
 
== Role of organisms ==
In the early 1930s [[Cornelis Van Niel]] discovered that sulfide-dependent chemoautotrophic bacteria ([[purple sulfur bacteria]]) fix carbon and synthesize water as a byproduct of a photosynthetic pathway using [[hydrogen sulfide]] and carbon dioxide:<ref>{{cite journal|last=van Niel|first=C.B.|title=Photosynthesis of bacteria|journal=Arch. Mikrobiol.|year=1931|volume=3|issue=1}}</ref>
 
<math> \mathrm{ CO_2 + 2\ H_2S \rightarrow CH_2O + H_2O + 2\ S }</math>
 
Few organisms utilize this method of photosynthesis today, making their water contribution negligible.  But on the [[hydrogen sulfide]]-rich and oxygen-poor early planet, a small but significant portion of the earth's water may have been synthesized biochemically through this pathway.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}}
 
== Seeds of Life in Asteroids ==
Researchers have proposed a new and improved theory to explain how biomolecules were once able to form inside of asteroids. These researchers at Renesselaer Polytechnic Institute theory aim to explain the ancient heating of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. Although it is now cold and dry in the past years scientists have concluded that at one point it had wet and warm conditions that would cater to the formation of biomolecules. Biomolecules were found inside of the meteorites which were originated in the asteroid belt. To figure this out two researchers Wayne Roberge and Ray Menzel examined two theories about how asteroids could have been heated in the young solar system. The first theory involved the same radioactive process that is used to describe how the Earth is heated. The second theory involved the interaction between plasma and the magnetic field. Some of today’s models of radioactive heating do help with making predictions that temperatures in the asteroid belt are inconsistent with observations. This piece of information motivated Roberge and Mendel to take further look into the second theory. This theory discusses the early assessment of the sun and the suggestion that an object moving through the magnetic field of the solar system will experience an electric field. This electric field will then push electric currents through the asteroid. The asteroid will then be heated, similar to electric current heating the wires in a toaster. To go deeper in their research Mendel and Roberge had to calculate the electric field everywhere. They calculated the electric field in the interior of the asteroid. By doing this research with the electric field they concluded that the asteroids would have experienced the solar wind, plasma conditions and multi-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics. In multi-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics plasma is very weakly ionized and neutral particles behave distinctly from the charged particles. The neutral particles will interact with charged particles by friction. This creates a problem of treating the dynamics of the neutral gas and allowing for the presence of the small number of charged particles interacting with the magnetic field. Although this theory is promising it raises many questions that will have to be further examined. Roberge and Mendel feel as though they have discovered new information and look forward to more exploration of this theory.

Water covers about 75% of the Earth's surface

The origin of water on Earth, or the reason that there is clearly more water on the Earth than on the other planets of the Solar System, has not been clarified. There are several acknowledged theories as to how the world's oceans were formed over the past 4.6 billion years.

Before you choose any particular company it is vital to understand in full how the different plans can vary. There is no other better method than to create a message board so that people can relax and "chill" on your website and check out your articles more. You should read the HostGator review, even before registering with a web hosting company. but Hostgator in addition considers the surroundings. You can even use a Hostgator reseller coupon for unlimited web hosting at HostGator! Most of individuals by no means go for yearly subscription and choose month to month subscription. Several users commented that this was the deciding factor in picking HostGator but in any case there is a 45 day Money Back Guarantee and there is no contract so you can cancel at any time. GatorBill is able to send you an email notice about the new invoice. In certain cases a dedicated server can offer less overhead and a bigger revenue in investments. With the plan come a Free Billing Executive, Free sellers account and Free Hosting Templates.



This is one of the only things that require you to spend a little money to make money. Just go make an account, get a paypal account, and start selling. To go one step beyond just affiliating products and services is to create your own and sell it through your blog. Not great if you really enjoy trying out all the themes. Talking in real time having a real person causes it to be personal helping me personally to sort out how to proceed. The first step I took was search for a discount code, as I did with HostGator. Using a HostGator coupon is a beneficial method to get started. As long as the necessities are able to preserve the horizontal functionality of your site, you would pretty much be fine.

Some of the most likely contributory factors to the origin of the Earth's oceans are as follows:

Residents of the realm will likely appreciate that they'll customize the business area that they wish to purchase as properly. This venture represents one of the crucial expansive buildings offered in Singapore up to now. Many investors will possible want to try how they will customise the property that they do determine to buy by means of here. This location has offered folks the prospect that they should understand extra about how this course of can work as well.

Singapore has been beckoning to traders ever since the value of properties in Singapore started sky rocketing just a few years again. Many businesses have their places of work in Singapore and prefer to own their own workplace area within the country once they decide to have a everlasting office. Rentals in Singapore in the corporate sector can make sense for some time until a business has discovered a agency footing. Finding Commercial Property Singapore takes a variety of time and effort but might be very rewarding in the long term.

In 12 months 2013, c ommercial retails, shoebox residences and mass market properties continued to be the celebrities of the property market. Models are snapped up in report time and at document breaking prices. Builders are having fun with overwhelming demand and patrons need more. We feel that these segments of the property market are booming is a repercussion of the property cooling measures no.6 and no. 7. With additional buyer's stamp responsibility imposed on residential properties, buyers change their focus to commercial and industrial properties. I imagine every property purchasers need their property funding to understand in value.

A sizeable quantity of water would have been in the material which formed the Earth.[1][2] Water molecules would have escaped Earth's gravity more easily when it was less massive during its formation. Hydrogen and helium are expected to continually leak from the atmosphere, but the lack of denser noble gases in the modern atmosphere suggests that something disastrous happened to the early atmosphere.
