Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points.

4.5 billion years ago, the Earth's surface was too hot for water to exist.

Inside the Earth's core, oxygen and hydrogen had bonded to create masses of steam.

Thousands of volcanoes erupted, emitting the steam into the atmosphere.

The Earth cooled, causing thousands of years of rainfall - which provided half of the world's water.
