The Full Water Cycle



Do you remember back in school learning about the water cycle? Water starts in the Ocean and is evaporated into the clouds and is rained into the soil, into a river then back into the ocean? Well, The full water cycle is a LOT longer... This video helps explain why...

First up, water, did not originate on this planet at all! For millions of years, this planet was a fiery mess of explosions and heat, not suitable for water or an atmosphere.

Water was brought to our planet by Comets, thats a proven fact. Comets are comprised of a building blocks of life; Water, CO2, and organic matter.

I just got back from a trip when I got to watch the peak of the Palisades Meteor shower - little know fact, its actually the remains of a comet that blazed past our planet, were just going through the wake left behind from the comets tail. Most of the "shooters" we saw were most likely chunks of comets.

When the Shooting Star enters our atmosphere, it is dissolved quickly through erosion caused by the speed of entry and friction. The components of the meteor are dispersed into our atmosphere and end up being a part of the life on this planet. This is all fact.

Our life is in fact alien in the beginning, the fabric of our life came from another world, but was woven together here on earth.
