What happens if Earth loses water?

Without water, the Earth would in all likelihood be a dead planet. “By examining how the ratio of these isotopes has changed, we have been able to determine that over the course of around four billion years, the Earth’s oceans have lost about a quarter of their original mass.”

Can we remove water from the Earth?

While our planet as a whole may never run out of water, it’s important to remember that clean freshwater is not always available where and when humans need it. More than a billion people live without enough safe, clean water. Also, every drop of water that we use continues through the water cycle.

What do you think will happen if the atmosphere on earth is removed?

The temperature of the Earth would rapidly start to rise once our atmosphere had disappeared. Without our atmosphere we have little protection from the Sun’s heat. It would penetrate to the Earth’s surface and cause the water to start boiling off into steam that would float off into space.

What would happen if the Earth was 100\% water?

If the rest of the Earth were covered with water, then the entire planet surface would become one massive saltwater ocean and virtually every species that lives on land or in freshwater(e.g., streams, rivers, and lakes) would go extinct (die).

What would happen if all the water evaporates?

Oceans would leave our planet for good, turning it into a vast, scorching desert. Sea creatures would be the obvious first casualties in these conditions. Then, with no oceans to absorb the heat from the Sun, the Earth would slowly roast, until it turned into Venus.

What would happen if we drained all the oceans?

Well, without the oceans, the world loses 97\% of its water. The small amount of liquid left wouldn’t be enough to sustain the water cycle. The pools of drinkable water would evaporate pretty fast. In a matter of days, people and most animals would die from dehydration.
