Abstract

Water origin and its role in the Earth’s evolution. Yu.D. KUZMIN (Kamchatka branch of «Geophysical Survey
RAS», Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy), V.G. SAKHNO (Far East Geological Institute, FEB RAS, Vladivostok).

There is one hypothesis that the Earth’s water is of meteoric rather than endogenous origin. It cannot emerge in condensed environments, namely in the planet’s interior, as it was believed by many geologists and geophysics. This inference requires other approaches differing from the fixed views on the water origin, evolvement of hydrosphere and atmosphere, water content of rocks in various geophysical layers of the Earth and on other planets of the Solar System. According to our hypothesis, water is a result of synthesis of hydrogen and oxygen from interstellar medium on a hot surface of terrestrial planet followed by the birth of atmosphere and hydrosphere which played a great part in the evolution and all geophysical and geochemical processes of the Earth.
