What to know

  • New research in Nature Geoscience proposes Earth generated much of its water during formation through chemical reactions between rocky pebbles and a hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
  • The study suggests water-producing processes may be common on rocky exoplanets, expanding the potential for life beyond Earth.
  • The findings offer a new mechanism for understanding how Earth acquired water, one of life's essential ingredients.

“The findings offer a potential explanation for how Earth acquired one of the essential ingredients for life and suggest that similar water-producing processes could be common on rocky planets beyond our solar system”

    Research published on Earth's water formation during planetary growth

    A study in Nature Geoscience proposes that Earth produced much of its water during the planet's formation through reactions between rocky pebbles and the hydrogen-rich atmosphere. The research suggests this mechanism could be common on rocky planets beyond our solar system.

    “Earth may have produced much of its water during the planet's formation, as rocky pebbles reacted with the hydrogen-rich atmosphere surrounding the young planet…”
