I need help with my teacher's feedback. I answered: How did volcanoes affect the origins of the seas? When volcanoes erupt, they release gasses, one of them being water vapor, which then precipitates into the earth’s ocean. After the water vaporizes, it fell back down to earth in the form of water, which collected in our seas. And she said: You have how volcanoes add water to the present day oceans. But where did ocean water come from ORIGINALLY? How did the oceans get filled with water? Think back to when Earth first was forming.

well science says that the big bang therory created the earth and rain fall created the oceans but i say sing i am a christian that God made the earth and the water

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Some Christians say the great flood created the oceans

omg wow

OpenStudy (abb0t):

This is science, and in science, you cannot answer questions with non-experimental evidence. Your religious views should not be used to answer questions in science as you risk getting marked down. Just because you are a scientist doesn't mean that you disbelieve in God. Just keep that in mind.

ik i am not saying that i am just saying you can put down both if you wanted to so yea i have the righ to and i am not a scientist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right*

Religious views are not going to help me in Marine Biology class...

then go with the first one or use google

A good argument might be water vapour, such as gases. A very recognizable reaction in chemistry is: O\(_2\)\(_{(g)}\) + 2H\(_2\)\(_{(g)}\) \(\rightarrow\) 2H\(_2\)O\(_{(g)}\)

I already brought up water vapor from volcanoes so I still don't understand why my teacher is still asking where the water came from.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

comet impact theory. Are you familiar with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

H2O is 2 atoms of hidrigion and one atom of Oxigion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

well i think that, from the "big bang" theory there certainly were some amounts of hydrogen and oxygen molecules present. they probably reacted together and formed the water we see as ocean.
