In addition to comets, water for Earth's early oceans might have come from
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The correct answer is - D. volcanic eruptions.

In recent studies and research about the water on our planet and how it came to be, the scientists managed to find new evidence that suggest that not only the comets and asteroids contributed to the existence of water on our planet, but also the volcanoes.

The volcanoes are actually releasing into the atmosphere the material from the deeper part of the Earth, the mantle layer. The mantle layer, as it turns out, has water in its rocks, so through the volcanic eruptions, that were much more and much bigger in the distant past, that water got released into the atmosphere. From the atmosphere, that water was falling on the surface, thus contributing to the creation of the first oceans on Earth.

What are some examples of European influence on the history and culture of Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean?
Rashid [163]

Answer: The language, Religion, Diseases,

Explanation: When the European people came, specifically the Spanish  they forced their language on the native people in Central America and Mexico, not letting them speak their native language, but instead Spanish. In the Carribean, it was the French, Dutch, English, and Spanish people. The Europeans from these aforementioned countries forced them to speak their languages, and did the same with religion. The native people of their land were banned from practicing their traditional religon, and instead forced to inherit the spirit of Catholisism and all. Lastly, the diseases brought from these European countries greatly shaped the outlook of the people in these areas today.
