Has the amount of water on earth changed over time?
Yes. We currently believe that it has changed over time. It is believed that the Earth was first dry and that water was delivered to it later by cometary or meteoric impactors.
What are the different types of runoff water?
*Meteoric water - is water in circulation*Connate water - "fossil" water, often saline.*Juvenile water - water that comes from the interior of the earth.*Surface water - water in rivers, lakes, oceans and so on.*Subsurface water - Groundwater, connate water, soil, capillary water* Groundwater - exists in the zone of saturation, and may be fresh or saline.
Does the earth still produce water or do you still have the same amount that was there when the earth was born?
Earth does not produce water. The water currently on Earth is believed to have been here since shortly after Earth formed. Water on Earth goes through cycles between the atmosphere, the oceans, and glaciers.. Some water vapor is released by volcanoes, but this is balanced by water carried into the mantle at subduction zones.
Sunlight provides the energy that evaporates water from the surface of Earth. Most water vapor forms over oceans. How does water vapor from the ocean reach the continents?
It is carried to and across the continents by wind.
What can be carried away by wind or water?
Loose sediments can be carried by wind, water, or ice.

Yes. We currently believe that it has changed over time. It is believed that the Earth was first dry and that water was delivered to it later by cometary or meteoric impactors.
What is the name of water that comes from the?
Meteoric water comes from the sky.
Why are meteor impacts not common on earth?
Meteor impacts are VERY common on Earth. However, the erosive forces of wind and water tend to wear away the smaller impacts fairly quickly, and the very large impacts are less common.
What happen to the soil carried away or eroded by flowing water?
the earth was broken
Is water vapor carried all over the earth's surface by wind?
yes.
How do water come on earth?
One theory is that small amounts of water were in meteors, and billions of years ago it is said that there were continuous meteor strikes on earth, all the small amounts of water collected up, and it became a vast.
What is after meteor falls?
If the meteor survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it is called a "meteorite". Depending on its mass, velocity, angle, and point of contact; a crater (land) or tsunami (water) may be created.
Does a tsunami have a purpose?
A tsunami is a reaction to an under water earthquake, land slide or a meteor that struck the earth. It's the dispersion of energy.

What fills up craters?
That depends on where the crater is, and how it formed. Meteor craters on the Moon or Mars? Nothing generally fills them up, and lunar craters are still visible after many hundreds of thousands of years. On Earth? A meteor crater will, eventually, fill with dust or dirt and water. A good number of meteor craters are visible as circular lakes. The Meteor Crater in Barringer, AZ is still empty after 50,000 years. Volcanic craters sometimes fill with lava, or with dirt and water. Crater Lake in Nevada is a .... lake, filled with .... water.
How much water was carried by meteorites to aid in the formation of the oceans?
Supposedly about 2/3 of the earth's water was delivered through an asteroid, or comet.
