How did water arrive on planet Earth?Today, we learn just how much water Earth has, and where it came from in the first place. We'll take a joyride around the early solar system, climb a snow-capped peak, and learn how Jupiter may have played a crucial role in making Earth's oceans. Extra credit: Drink some water, make a snowball, or watch the Kevin Costner classic Waterworld.

14: Waterworld

This podcast starts at the beginning of Earth's prehistory and works forward through time.  Bedrock will explore the first 90% of Earth’s past, a time known as the Precambrian Era.  Before humans, before dinosaurs… there was the Precambrian.
The Earth was an incredibly alien world, but not a dead one. 
Along the way, you will build a mental toolkit to see the world like a geologist. You will never look at a mountain, the moon, or pond scum in quite the same way again.

Welcome to Bedrock.
