Answer:

17,190 years

Explanation:

Each isotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time required for half of that isotope to decay. After one half-life has elapsed, 50% of the isotope has decayed and 50% remains. After two half-lives, 75% has decayed and 25% remains. After three half-lives, 87.5% has decayed and 12.5% remains. For carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,730 years, three half-lives corresponds to 17,190 years.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two dominant theories:

The inside-out model proposes that the Earth formed with trace amounts of water structurally bonded to the minerals in the mantle. This water makes its way to the Earth’s surface through volcanic processes.  

The outside-in model proposes that the Earth formed without water, which came with other volatiles from the meteorites or comets that bombarded the young planet. This water was probably mixed into the upper layers of the Earth and was later brought to the surface through volcanism.
