Each year, hundreds of meteorites — rocky bodies left over from the formation of the solar system — bombard Earth, delivering minerals, metals, and water to our planet. Analyzing the crevices and mineral-rich deposits inside meteorites not only reveals the early history of planet formation, but may provide clues about how the young Earth acquired ...
Fresh ice water is so refreshing on a hot summer’s day! But here’s the thing — take away that water, and you have nothing. If you look at the Earth from space, you will see that most of our planet is liquid. However, the vast majority is salt water and unusable for human consumption. According to ...
Curtin University researchers have helped unravel the enduring mystery of the origins of the Earth’s water, finding the Sun to be a surprising likely source. Solar wind is now the proposed source of Earth’s water A University of Glasgow-led international team of researchers, including those from Curtin’s Space Science and Technology Centre (SSTC), found the ...
Life is deeply dependent on water, but where does it come from? Based on new research, researchers believe it may emerge in connection with the formation of planets. The emergence of life is a mystery. Nevertheless, researchers agree that water is a precondition for life. The first cell emerged in water and then evolved to ...
Changes in groundwater millions of years ago created alternating layers of vivid yellow and brown in the mineral sphalerite, and those variations align with movements in the Earth’s orbit that impacted climate in the deep past, Penn State scientists found. The findings provide new evidence for how changes in climate influenced the planet’s rainfall and ...
Logging in Melbourne’s largest water catchment has led to a loss of water equivalent to the amount used by 250,000 people each year, new research from The Australian National University (ANU) shows. The Thompson water catchment, located to the northeast of the city, is Melbourne’s most important, helping supply water to 5 million people. The ...
With climate patterns across the world changing unpredictably, experts have been saying that the consequences of such climate change could be devastating for human society. A series of reports now warns that the climate crisis will trigger widespread hunger and water scarcity that could push the world into intense conflicts. The crisis According to a ...
