Where Did Earth's Water Come From?

The creation of our planet raises a lot of questions, but there's one you might not be thinking of. Mainly, where did all the water come from? Join us as we explore where and how the water on Earth came to be.

8. In the Beginning...
So to truly answer this question, we need to go back to the literal birth of our universe. "But why is that?" you ask, "wasn't Earth always filled with water?" The answer to that is a bit tricky. Because it depends on what you believe in regards to the creation of the universe. By that, I mean, if you believe in creationism, or the belief that there is a god or gods that created the world and universe, then the answer would be no...but the waters came quickly after the "formation" of the world.
However, for those who believe in the Big Bang, then it's very logical to understand how the world was NOT born with water, because the boom of energy that created our solar system and put everything in its place and orbit would not have created water. Or at the very least wouldn't have created the liquid that we know from now on Earth.
Which of course raises the question of...where did all the water come from? Because it most certainly didn't just "appear", and as our planet is basically 2/3's water, it would've needed to be built up a lot over time, even if that "time" was billions of years. Which is accurate to an extent as we know that have been creatures living in the water for billions of years according to scientists, and many even suspect that live was born in water and not on land.
While the search for the "birth of water" may not be what's taught in history books and in grander discussions of the universe, it doesn't mean people aren't trying to find the answer. In fact, some people they have "found" the answer, and it's via something that is very near and dear to the hearts of many planets...space rocks.

7. The Rock and Water Invasion
So if it's true that water wasn't just born on Earth, then it had to have been created on the planet, or infused on the planet by some outside force. On that account, scientists do agree that over the course of millions and billions of years that meteors, comets, and asteroids hit the Earth, and when they did, they infused the ground with water. Add numerous rocks crashing down over the years and millennia and epochs and all that and you get a large body of water.
I'm sure this somehow seems far-fetched, I would even go so far as to say that some of you didn't know that asteroids and the like carried water with them. But they do, and we do know that they helped bring some of the water to Earth. How so? Isotopes. Specifically, the isotope of Hydrogen. Even more specifically than that, the version of Hydrogen isotope known as deuterium. The Earth's water has a certain concentration of deuterium, and that concentration matches the waters that have been found and studied in asteroids and comets.
But wait, there's a catch, while much of Earth's waters seem to have been created by asteroids, there are a few inconsistencies, and so many scientists are actually debating whether the asteroid/comet theory is fully accurate.
"It’s a bit of a blind spot in the community. When people measure the [deuterium-to-hydrogen] ratio in ocean water and they see that it is pretty close to what we see in asteroids, it was always easy to believe it all came from asteroids." said one scientist
But that begs the question, why don't they believe it all came from the asteroids?

6. The Shape Of Water
Ok, I couldn't resist that title, I do apologize in advance. *ahem*
Seriously though, the question of why the asteroid theory doesn't work is an important one. Mainly because the asteroid theory works as a plausible method for how the water on Earth came to be. With the exception...of one question. How is it that the Earth was hit by SO MANY asteroids, comets, and such to where 2/3's of it were covered by water?
No, really, think about it, the Earth isn't just covered in water, it's covered in water that is tens of thousands of feet deep. One of the deepest points in the ocean is the Mariana Trench at over 36,000 feet in depth, and it really does keep going on from there. So add that depth, to 7 oceans, innumerous lakes, rivers, and more, and you get...a whole lot of water.
So how is it possible that there were enough meteors, asteroids, comets, and more hitting the Earth in the beginning part of the universe that it would cause that much water to be made? It doesn't add up for a lot of scientists.

Your channel is absolutely amazing, i have said it before but facts don’t change! Thank you

[alicesullivan]

I just came across this channel. I'd heard about the asteroid theory of water on earth; but this more in-depth explanation is whetting my already insane curiosity.

[aston]

Comets :) and maybe some h2o in the rocks that initially come together to form the earth

[umphstein]

who is the narrator? Great fit for this topic, easy to listen to.

[unick]

Eerth, watter, air, space - whats come after that? I mean thinnest things.

[SaurabhVerma-ckxd]

I want to work and live on mars as a initial colonist.

[unbekannt]

an ice planet hit the earth..that was it .. so we got water ..

[ianmckenzie]

so where did earth water come " con condensation da

[Dan-ltvm]

"Wasn't the earth always filled with water?
The answer to that is a bit tricky, because it depends on what you believe..."


No it doesn't. None of this depends on what we believe.

In the beginning, the earth, s mother was one peace contain All the galaxies and the stars, it was fully covered with water and in the side was a strong fire and boiling lava, the original face was very hard and thick, there was no opening for fired material, so the big ban happened to divide it to many galaxies and stars 1) the base:- its movement down ( we cold it south ) it was a very big piece from the explosion having the big quantity of water covering all the area, it is the new center of the world, having the big gravity power.2) area Nabors: - the biggest galaxies after the base their movements slow in front of others and spiral movement still going far under throwing power. 3)the middle areas:- the speed was very fast towards the north & a little bit faster than the areas Nabors towards the edges east and west, it has the ring of water (called inside the ring = internal horizon) & (outside the ring = external horizon) our earth became from the internal horizon. 4) north area from 70 to 90%:- the speed was very fast boiled lava with crest and original water, spiral movement, end of throwing power, and start returning back to the new center. 5) north areas 100%:- the faster areas, most of it lava stares, without water, it will explode and thrown in the sphere, end of throwing power and start returning back to the base.
The sun fired lava thrown from the galaxy, with very fast thrown speed and around self, immediately planets are thrown from the sun, our earth was from them, the sun speed became less because of the gravity of the planets, the sun continued in there way far from the galaxy, finished thrown power and start to go back toward's the galaxy, its pull their planets by gravity power by force with her way.
EARTH'S CREATION:-1) shedding of the earth from the sun in the form of a flaming fireball, the size was one and half times bigger than now.
2) the earth entered the area of the global water, immediately create the atmosphere, then spent.
3) the earth left fully coated with global water at a height fifteen thousand meters approximately.
4) the original crust dried at a depth of two hundred meters and left no openings for the molten lava inside the earth so it was exploded.
5) the earth exploded and if there was no water it could've scattered in space, three moons have turned around the earth, two of them came out from the equator (big & small) the third one came out from the north at 70%, the mountains because of the severity of the explosion the mountains were pasted to its neighboring continents by 70% of the total mountains, comets:- as a result of the explosion, fractions of the earth's crust formed comets many other managed to take over its path and formed meteorites, burning lava:- formed a dome above the earth and water, small pieces of the original crust by 30% of the mountains, base of the explosion:- it was in the south, in the form of a circle, gathered all of Antarctica, Oakland, Australia and Newzealand, five continents:- the impact of the explosion rough on the five major continents, but they could not escape from the water and gravity, so they fall down over the oceans continents. Oceans continents:- the impact of the explosion was a little bit lesser than it was on the continents, so they took their place in the center of the earth, coating what remains of the burning lava, the water helps that.
6) after oceans continents took their place in the center of the earth coating what remains of the burning lava, the five continents took their place above them, the original crust fragments went down on the five continents, and the oceans continents completing the mountains solid rocks.
7) the water was the closest of the earth so created oceans and coated the whole earthto a height nearly ten thausand meters, then the lava dome caused by the explosion

Water has Always been Here. This ist eternity....

If l heard it correctly your channel did well to place "creationism" as a legitimate option in any such discussion!

Well done and God bless. 🙄🙄🙄

[farahmichaeljarasmuskhoury]

the water came from the earth mother you can see it by iys, and if you collect 12 photo of the milky way one every month you will get the full ring of water and galaxies, this ring is the limit of internal & external horizon.thank you.farah khoury.

[caseywoody]

or the earth was created then got the gas required to make water

[dacracking]

Ehh the Quran says that god sent down water from the sky [23.18]. So if you do believe in a crew ayee and believe in Islam then you also believe that water came down from the sky. Look at translations of Quran [23.18] and you will see it says “ And We have sent down rain from the sky in a measured amount and settled it in the earth. And indeed, We are Able to take it away.”
