Please note that there is a stubby thing called Origin of the world's oceans, which the German article links to. I assume they should be merged. u p p l a n d 13:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Is the French version of this article (fr:Origine de l'eau sur la Terre) still being translated? It is much more detailed than this. Tamarkot 22:04, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I translated the German one. The french article was being translated until about a year ago I gather, and I added what there was (the bullet points at the start). If anyone is a fluent French speaker, it would be great to have the extra info put in here. --Mark Lewis 14:41, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I don't speak German but it seems to me "coal-rich" must be a literal translation of a technical term for which the English term is "carbonaceous." I have ventured to make this change in the article. 67.186.28.212 02:03, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
I took a look at the French article; I think it needs to be cleaned up before translation. Some portions of it are disputed; anybody who wants to translate it should be sure to look at the discussion page. 67.186.28.212 02:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
The link to Dr. C's Oceans Online website does not work. Kier07 06:52, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Distinguishing Sources
1. The cooling of hot gases were released causing "outgassing", potentially bringing water to Earth.
3. Liquid may have been "locked" in the Earth's rocks and leaked out over millions of years.
Outgassing is defined by Wikipedia as, "the slow release of a gas that was trapped, frozen, absorbed or adsorbed in some material." This "slow release" of a gas reads very much like the word "leaked". Items #1 and #3 should be expounded.
