THE FORMATION OF EARTH’S OCEANS AND BEGINNING FORMATION OF ITS ATMOSPHERE

Abstract

The earth’s oceans were formed during the formation of the earth, over billions of years. The water upon earth accumulated in the process of the earth’s formation and subsequently the formation of the earth’s crust, in tandem with the formation of the continents and the various layers. In my view, the addition of water through comets and meteors made of ice, if any such did occur, was marginal. In parallel to the formation of the oceans the atmosphere too was formed..
