Professor Trevor Ireland from the Australian National University (anu.edu.au) shares what we know about how Earth's oceans formed. This as part of a series of educational videos on our Earth's water. 

This clip has been created by the Research School of Earth Sciences (rses.anu.edu.au). These resources are part of a comprehensive program, curriculum matched to the unit 'Introduction to Earth systems'. 

This video touches on the following curriculum descriptors: 
Water is present on the surface of Earth as a result of volcanic outgassing and impact by icy bodies from space; water occurs in three phases (solid, liquid, gas) on Earth’s surface (ACSES023)
