What is the planet most covered in water?
Earth is the planet with the highest percentage of surface area covered by water, with approximately 71% of its surface covered by oceans.
Is One-fourth of the earth's surface is covered by oceans?
No. Approximately two thirds of the world's surface is covered by oceans
What were the characteristics of Earth before the oceans formed?
Before the oceans formed, Earth was a hot and volatile planet with a thick atmosphere of mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. The surface was mostly covered in molten rock due to intense volcanic activity. As Earth cooled over millions of years, water vapor condensed to form the oceans.
Where is most of the water found on the earth?
the oceans
Why are there more craters on mercury than on venus earth and mars?
The earth has a atmosphere that protects us and most meteorites burn before they are able to make contact with the ground, and Mercury has no atmosphere like this and therefore has more craters. Earth's surface is subject to weathering. Erosion obliterates surface features rather quickly, leveling entire mountains in as little as a hundred million years. In addition, sea floor spreading and subduction draws the sea floor beneath plate margins, eradicating any evidence of asteroid or cometary impacts there. We have a few big craters scattered here and there, but very few recognizable ones more than a hundred million years old. Mercury, in contrast, is geologically stable. It has no atmosphere, and thus no rain. Few earthquakes or faults appear to trouble its surface. Any impact over the last four billion years remains on its surface, at least until another impact lays over the top of it.
Is the surface of mercury covered with craters molton iron or oceans?
craters
Why is the surface of mercury covered with meteor impact craters while earth surface has relatively few craters?
Earth is a geologically active planet, the heat in its core moves the Earth's surface around and creates new oceans and mountains over time and these are eroded slowly by the processes going on in and caused by Earth's atmosphere. On Mercury there is no atmosphere and the planet no longer has a hot core causing its surface to be reworked, Thus the craters made in Earth's surface are erased over time while those on Mercury are not.
What did chemist learn about the mons surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
What percentage is Mercury surface is covered in ocean?
There aren't oceans on mercery! So I guess the answer is 0%
What is the planet most covered in water?
Earth is the planet with the highest percentage of surface area covered by water, with approximately 71% of its surface covered by oceans.
The oceans cover about what percentage of earth?
75 percent of earth is covered by oceans
How much of the earth is covered by each what oceans and seas?
It is covered by 90% of seas and oceans.:)
What did chemist learn about the moon surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
How much of the earth is covered in water and the major oceans is the largest?
anout 85% of eath is covered by oceans
Is One-fourth of the earth's surface is covered by oceans?
No. Approximately two thirds of the world's surface is covered by oceans
Why do craters contain maria?
Craters don't contain maria. 'Maria' (plural) are the large unbroken expanses that appear smooth, with no craters, or relatively few. 'Maria' means 'seas' ... at one time, they were thought to be oceans on the moon.
What were the characteristics of Earth before the oceans formed?
Before the oceans formed, Earth was a hot and volatile planet with a thick atmosphere of mainly carbon dioxide and water vapor. The surface was mostly covered in molten rock due to intense volcanic activity. As Earth cooled over millions of years, water vapor condensed to form the oceans.
