Researchers Discover Earth May Have Made Its Own Water 4.5 Billion Years Ago
Laboratory experiments suggest that rocky planets could generate their own water as they form, potentially giving distant worlds an essential ingredient for life. Rocks, hydrogen gas, and intense heat might sound like an unlikely recipe for an ocean. Yet experiments suggest that these ingredients could have produced much of Earth’s water while the planet was [...]
What if water on Earth didn't have to arrive on comets at all? Scientists have recreated the process that could have produced it on our planet.
The origin of Earth's water is one of the most important scientific questions, as for decades the prevailing theory was that much of it arrived on the planet via comets, meteorites and icy particles from the cold regions of the early solar system. However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience suggests a different mechanism, according to which the Earth itself could have produced significant amounts of water during its formation…
Researchers have conducted laboratory experiments that indicate that rocky planets, such as Earth, can generate their own water during the formation process. This discovery may have significant implications for understanding the origin...
