Has the amount of water on earth changed over time?

No, the amount of water on Earth has remained relatively constant over time. Water is continuously recycled through the water cycle, with some being stored in oceans, glaciers, lakes, and underground reservoirs.


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.


How are water vapor and clouds in the atmosphere carried from one place to another?

Water vapor and clouds are carried in the atmosphere by wind. Wind transports them from one location to another by moving the air masses containing water vapor and clouds. Wind patterns are influenced by factors such as temperature gradients, pressure systems, and the Earth's rotation.


The dirt or topsoil carried by running water is called slope?

The dirt or topsoil carried by running water is called sediment.


What are the processes by the which water can shape the Earth?

Water can shape the Earth through erosion, which wears away rocks and soil over time. It can also create landforms through deposition, where sediment carried by water is deposited in new areas. Additionally, water plays a role in weathering, breaking down rocks and minerals into smaller pieces.

What are theCharacteristic of meteoric water?

Meteoric water is sourced from precipitation, such as rain or snow. It typically has a low mineral content and can be influenced by factors such as atmospheric conditions and environmental pollutants. Meteoric water plays a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface through processes like erosion and deposition.


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.


Has the amount of water on earth changed over time?

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.


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.


What is the process by which earth materials are carried away by wind water gravity or ice?

The scientific name for such a process is EROSION


What is the evidence the meteor crater is eroding?

meteor crater will only erode if there is some natural source such as wind or water eroding it. Since most planets besides our own do not have an atmosphere or water this process is not available. On the Earth a crater eroding would be evidenced with erosion type qualities such as furrows from water a filled crater bottom and a rounded off top.
