Detailed explanation-1: -NASA launches international mission to survey Earth’s water, including the Great Lakes. Published: Monday, December 26, 2022, 5:10am.
Detailed explanation-2: -The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the French space agency Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) have jointly launched the newest Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft to track nearly all the water on the surface of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft onboard, Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
Detailed explanation-4: -Geological evidence also helps constrain the time frame for liquid water existing on Earth. A sample of pillow basalt (a type of rock formed during an underwater eruption) was recovered from the Isua Greenstone Belt and provides evidence that water existed on Earth 3.8 billion years ago.
Detailed explanation-5: -Where did Earth’s water come from? Most astronomers believe asteroids carried water to early Earth. But new research suggests it may have come from even closer to home. Asteroids could have carried water, locked away in their minerals, to a young Earth, depositing it through impacts during our planet’s early years.
