Water on Earth.

The presence of water on Earth is discussed in this book using various theories about its origin as a basis. These theories include a massive degassing of the primitive parent bodies that built our planet as well as a late addition from comets that collided with the Earth's surface. The extraor...

520 |a The presence of water on Earth is discussed in this book using various theories about its origin as a basis. These theories include a massive degassing of the primitive parent bodies that built our planet as well as a late addition from comets that collided with the Earth's surface. The extraordinary physico-chemical properties of the water molecules, combined with its abundance and distribution over the Earth's surface, have contributed to regulating the global climate and favoring species' evolution for more than 4 billion years. The early emergence of life in the deep ocean and its further.
