Earth’s water originally came from?
Space rocks perhaps. Meteorites yield water.
Hydrogen bonded to oxygen equals water.

Hello Friends,
Cosmochemist Laurette Piani from the Université de Lorraine new study found the ingredients to form water were held in the minerals inside rocks that formed Earth.
Space rocks have similar hydrogen properties to earth’s mantle. The new research suggests earth contained water from its early beginnings, rather than previous theories that water formed later when elements from the Big Bang and dying stars showered onto earth.
Interestingly, a meteorite that landed in Murchison, Australia, contained water, carbon and amino acids. Read more here, Earth's water
Take care,
love to all,
