What else can I help you with?
Which of the following was not characteristics of earth before the oceans formed?
Land was not covered by water, there were no marine organisms present, and the atmosphere did not have oxygen.
Did oceans form as soon as the earth formed?
No, when the Earth first formed it was molten, it had to cool before liquid water could collect in its surface. There is also a thought that Earth's water may not have formed form the initial materials making up the Earth but been delivered to the Earth by comet or asteroids impacting the Earth later.
What is the source of most water that evaporates from earth surface?
The main source is formed by sea and oceans.
Do all areas on earth produce air masses?
No, not all areas on Earth produce air masses. Air masses are large bodies of air that have uniform temperature and moisture characteristics. These air masses are typically formed over certain regions with specific characteristics, such as over warm tropical oceans or cold polar regions.
How are sedimentary rocks formed in oceans?
Compaction over years and fossilization. That's what I learned in ap Earth Science.

What are some characteristics of earths oceans?
what are three characteristics of earth's ocean
Did earth first oceans form?
It was about 4 billion years ago, that the Earths oceans formed
Did oceans form as soon as the earth formed?
No, when the Earth first formed it was molten, it had to cool before liquid water could collect in its surface. There is also a thought that Earth's water may not have formed form the initial materials making up the Earth but been delivered to the Earth by comet or asteroids impacting the Earth later.
What is the source of most water that evaporates from earth surface?
The main source is formed by sea and oceans.
What happened to water vapor when earth formed and cooled?
When the Earth formed and cooled, water vapor condensed into liquid water and fell as rain, filling the forming oceans. This process, known as the "water cycle," involved continuous evaporation and precipitation of water, contributing to the formation of the Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
Why were there no oceans 4 billion years ago?
According to geologist, the oceans had already started to form by 4 billion years ago. Water remainded a gas because Earth was too hot before the oceaan was formed.
How do scientists think that Earth's oceans formed?
Scientists believe that Earth's oceans formed about 4 billion years ago through a process called "outgassing," where water vapor and other gases were released from the Earth's interior through volcanic activity. As the Earth cooled, the water vapor condensed and fell as rain, filling the low-lying areas to create the oceans.
The oceans were formed when precipitation filled low areas on earth called what?
I think its Basin
How long did it rain to form the oceans?
The oceans formed over millions of years as rainwater accumulated in low-lying areas on Earth's surface.
What resources are older than Earth?
The materials that formed the Earth are in fact OLDER than the Earth, because they were around BEFORE the Earth was formed. The Elements that you are made of were formed inside STARS before the Earth ever existed.
Why are the continents older than the oceans?
because they formed first along with the layers inside the earth
