Talk:Hydrosphere

message: Hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere, etc are all pretty small articles. Perhaps they should be combined into a "Spheres of the Earth" article? - Iotha 20:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Earth Spheres" article? 

message: At the moment, I can't see the relevance of the following passage to the hydrosphere:
:The mantle and core are the heavy interior of the Earth, making up most of the Earth's mass.
As far as I know, neither of these contain any water or interact with it in a significant way (I can think of a significant phenomenon, and b) if it is, that needs explaining in more detail!
I have therefore removed it. If someone can illuminate the link between mantle and hydrosphere, please do so in the article!) - Samsara (talk • contribs) 00:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mantle and core 

message: The section on Hydrological Cycle started: Insulation, or energy (in the form of heat and light) from the sun ...
I believe that the correct term in this context is Insolation, not Insulation. If this is correct, I'd suggest a re-write that does not start with a relatively unknown word (Insolation) and then define it, especially if that word is easily confused with Insulation. The re-write I'd suggest is 
Energy from the sun, in the form of heat and light (Insolation) ... and include the link to the extant Wiki page on Insolation.
Update - In the absence of feedback, I went ahead and modified the entry.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It is just simply amazing that the "editors" of this think it's "ok" to use volume as units here. You would think that anyone with a 6th Grade education would know that mass doesn't depend on temperature, while volume does. Can anyone point to the place in this article where the amount of MASS of water that the oceans, ice caps, lakes and rivers hold is mentioned? I can't find it. But at least I know how much is in the hydrosphere, whatever that is. (And by the way, the actual amount of water in the interior of the Earth is MORE than the rest (surface and atmosphere) combined AND the amount there is HIGHLY uncertain, including in the core and mantle. It should NOT be mentioned in the lead, especially not as if it has an established consensus value (in tonnes).)40.142.179.182 (talk) 15:28, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  So enormously annoying 

message: Currently;
:Approximately 75% of Earth's surface, an area of some 361 million square kilometers (139.5 million square miles), is covered by ocean.
75% has been there since 8Dec 2010, it was 71% before. It’s 71% at Ocean (and my books). 361/510 is 70.8%.  MBG02 (talk) 20:20, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
