AIRKAMI.IDWhere does the water on Earth come from? Most scientists in the world believe,that water arrived on Earth in the form of several large asteroids filled with ice. While other scientists claim that water has actually existed since the beginning of the formation of the Earth gas cloud that make up the solar system.
There are also those who argue, water on Earth was carried by comets at the beginning of its formation. There are still other opinions expressed, but still this is a mystery that has not been fully resolved. One of the most complicated mysteries about our planet.
Meanwhile, other European researchers also stated that the original assumption that water on earth came from comets was proven wrong. Water from comets is much older and heavier than water that exists today.
The observations also show that the hydrogen isotope content in water on asteroids is similar to its current level on Earth’s water.
Actually, the origin of where water on Earth comes from so far cannot be explained thoroughly. A popular theory says that the oceans on Earth were formed due to the impact of comets and asteroids, which occurred a lot in the early formation of the planet.
An alternative explanation is that Earth was originally a water-rich planet. The theory was published in the journal Science recently.
On the asteroid Vesta, the researchers found a ratio of heavy to light hydrogen that is similar to that of water on Earth.
The analysis concluded that water had formed in the innermost circles of the young solar system in large quantities. So far, scientists believe that water on Earth comes from the Kuiper belt, which is in the outermost circle.
That’s an explanation of several theoretical opinions from scientists regarding the origin of water on Earth. So, Friends of Clean Water, which theory or opinion do you believe more?
