How were earth oceans formed?

There are two schools of thought as to how Earth's oceans were formed. The first says that volcanic gases emitted steam as the crust cooled and overtime oceans were formed. The second states that an ateriod laden with ice crashed into Earth giving it its oceans. The resulting dust and debris that ricocheted into space after the impact was drawn back into earth'sgravitaional field and condensed into the moon. This makes much more sense because when when you compare Mars to Earth we have oceans and a different type of moon even though we're closely sized planets.


How were oceans formed?

It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed


How does evaporation and winds combine to move water from oceans to land?

Water vapors produced over oceans can be condensed over lands.


Why is the earth covered with water?

The earth formed and let of carbon, oxygen, and other gases. Those gases collected and formed the atmosphere. When the Earth cooled, some hydrogen and oxygen bonded to make water vapor. Soon we had lakes, then oceans, and then life.


What is a moons maria?

Maria is a bunch of Basaltic material (which is igneous rock) that came together on the moon. It formed when the moon cooled. People used to think that the dark spots (maria) on the moon were oceans.
