    The root cause was that the earth's temperature was very high at that time, and the conversion between liquid and gaseous water was very fast, so there was a long period of continuous rainfall.

    At that time, the earth had just formed and the temperature was very high, so the water vapor on the surface of some planets and comets was turned into water.

    The Earth had been in a hot volcanic eruption environment before this rainfall, which led to a strong greenhouse effect, causing the Earth's water resources to evaporate, and when the moisture in the atmosphere accumulated to a certain extent, long-term rainfall began.

    Because the earth was very hot when it was born, all the water was evaporated into water vapor, and then the earth gradually cooled down, and those water vapors began to form rain, and so on and so forth, causing rainfall for millions of years.

    When the earth was first formed, the temperature was very high, and the water turned into water vapor and entered the atmosphere under the action of gravity, and the heat was dissipated outward under the action of radiation, and the temperature slowly cooled, and the water vapor formed large-scale rainfall after condensation, but the temperature of the earth was still very high, so this cycle was carried out. The second time there was a long-term volcanic eruption on the earth, a large amount of gas was emitted to form a strong greenhouse effect, and because of the large amount of lava on the surface, the earth's temperature rose and the water evaporated, resulting in long-term rainfall.

    First, when the earth was just born, the internal energy of all the aggregated matter was gradually converted into heat energy, and the water in the constituent materials and the water brought by foreign asteroids and comets formed water vapor at high temperatures, and the heat evaporated from outer space to form the first rainfall.

    The second is: in the Triassic period more than 200 million years ago, there was a long-term global volcanic eruption on the earth during this period, and a large amount of volcanic ash, lava, carbon dioxide, methane and other gases were thrown into the air, triggering a strong greenhouse effect, and a large number of water resources on the earth evaporated, forming a second rainfall.

    As we all know, rain is the most common phenomenon in our daily lives. Some of the rain may disappear in a few hours, and maybe another dayBut scientists have found that the region has had more than a million years of rainfall in its history. This kind of weather is really beyond our imagination.

    This rain is known as the "Cardian Flood Event". In addition to this evidence, scientists have also found traces of precipitation in Triassic rock formations at the corners of land around the world. There is also some strong evidence in animal fossils from the same period.

    In general, they speculate that this event occurred 100 million years ago, so will there be any future rainfall?

    During millions of years of rainfall, the Earth's temperature has also increased significantly as a result, leading to volcanic eruptions in many places. At this time, most of the creatures on the ground were not spared from this disaster, and many more plants and animals and plants were also corroded and died by these sulfuric acid rains. Even if some animals were able to fly at that time, they did not escape this catastrophe, but the earth would not suffer from this catastrophe.

    It still has something to do with temperature. At present, we all know the harm caused by the global warming effect. So far, this phenomenon has not affected many people, but it is similar to the disease.

    Too slow to slowly take away everything you have, and no one can guarantee that things won't come to Earth again.

    It is true that the temperature of the earth was still very high at that time, and suddenly a meteorite with a large amount of water and ice came to the earth, and the water vapor evaporated, causing the whole earth to rain all the time, and finally gave birth to the evolution of life.

    Yes, according to scientists, the rain has continued in previous periods of unstable Earth's climate.

    The results of radiocarbon dating show that this period of heavy rainfall began about 100 million years ago and ended about 100 million years ago, which means that the earth had a rainy season of 2 million years, during which almost the entire earth was dominated by rainy days, because this period belongs to a period of the Triassic - the Carney period (about 100 million years ago), so people call it the "Carney flood event".

    If there is another long-term, large-scale volcanic activity on Earth in the future, the long rainy season will occur again, and although we don't know enough about the situation inside the Earth, it is certain that there will still be undercurrents in the Earth's interior for the foreseeable future, and the plate movement has not stopped, so we cannot rule out this possibility.

    Hello, scientists have found a lot of traces of precipitation in the Triassic rock formations. There is also evidence of abundant rainfall in fossils of plants and animals. So the earth really rained for 2 million years, which is called the Carney flood event. It may still appear in the future, and it will continue to be over time.

    I think this statement is unreliable, there is no substantial evidence, just some people's conjectures. This is not necessarily the case in the future.

    In fact, the fundamental reason for all this has a lot to do with the geological structure of the earth at that time, and friends who firmly believe that the history of the earth should know that in the Triassic period 100 million light years ago, the earth did not have six major plates, but a whole Pangea. In the outfield of such a very continent is the vast total area of the ocean, and the Pangea continent that has not collapsed is not particularly good information for the ecology of the earth at that time. Because the land is all together, the water vapor in the ocean basically only spreads to the land in the coastal areas, and the deepest part of the continent does not get a lot of water vapor.

    It is important to remember that even in the current seven major plates, the area that avoids the deep sea still suffers little rain and drought, let alone the entire Pangea continent. Therefore, the Pangea continent was basically in a living environment of continuous high temperature and drought. Many places have become deserts, and experts have better verified this based on the red sandstone left over from the Sansang period.

    In order to adapt to the natural environment of drought and drought, the microorganisms in Pangea have evolved to integrate into the drought environment. If the eruption is not too long, the ecology of the earth will not have a very significant impact. However, if it lasts for a long time, then the ecology of the earth will need to suffer, and the volcanic eruptions that have lasted for nearly 5 million years have flowed out of the lava rock up to 6 kilometers thick.

    More importantly, volcanic eruptions release air pollutants containing carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other pollutants.

    Carbon dioxide is a serious air pollutant, and as its composition in the air continues to rise, so does the temperature of the planet. A large increase in ambient temperature will cause the deep sea to continue to volatilize, and a large amount of water vapor will enter the atmosphere. After a long period of accumulation, enough water vapor has accumulated in the air, and finally a large amount of precipitation has occurred.

    Because the eruption of active volcanoes is still going on, the generation of heavy precipitation has not changed, and the earth's temperature continues to increase at that time, so the deep sea and the air constitute a continuous exchange of water vapor, and a heavy rainstorm that has lasted for nearly 2 million years has also occurred.

    In the past, the world's temperature rise was caused by global warming of carbon dioxide, and many of the carbon dioxide emitted were active volcanoes. Now, the temperature on Earth is rising again, all because of global warming, but this time we are doing it. In just 200 years, human production and business activities will increase the world's carbon dioxide concentration by 43%, and the average temperature will also rise1.

    If carbon dioxide is emitted again on a large scale, global temperatures rise several more times, and the rainy season in 2 million years is likely to happen again. At some point, people and many of the populations on the planet today may be replaced by new species.

    I don't know if it's true or not, maybe it's just a speculation, maybe it's a volcanic eruption, an increase in methane and carbon dioxide levels that led to global warming, a lot of water in the oceans formed water vapor, which existed in the air, and then for tens of millions of years, as the temperature dropped, the sky began to rain

    No. Only the age of water vapor exists, that is, the period of formation of the ocean. This stage is the second stage of the earth, which is the Archean and Proterozoic periods.

    Its time limit is 4200-543 ma. The earth is constantly releasing energy outward, and the water vapor, carbon dioxide and other gases released by the continuous eruption of high-temperature magma constitute a very thin early atmosphere - the primordial atmosphere.

    As the water vapor in the primeval atmosphere continues to increase, more and more water vapor condenses into small water droplets, which then converge into rainwater and fall to the surface. And just like that, the primordial ocean was formed.

    This is an interesting question, let's do the math and see if there is a period when it rains for millions of years.

    The forces of accretion collisions and the decay and exothermy of radioactive elements when the Earth was formed caused it to melt into a liquid sphere, but then the situation was different. The surface cools into the earth's crust. All water vapour condenses into water to form rainfall. How long has it been falling?

    It is known that the earth covers an area of 100 million square kilometers, the ocean is 100 million square kilometers, and the land is 100 million square kilometers. The average depth of the ocean today is 4 km. Rain begins when the Earth's atmospheric temperature drops below 100°C.

    And it's raining all over the planet. Assuming an average of 100 mm per day, this is already the level of heavy rainfall.

    Then there is: the total amount of water on the earth is 100 million square kilometers 4 kilometers = 100 million cubic kilometers.

    Because the daily rainfall is 100 mm = m = km, km 100 million square kilometers = 10,000 cubic kilometers.

    100 million cubic kilometers 10,000 cubic kilometers = 28,235 days.

    28235 365 = years.

    That's the theoretical number of years of rainfall.

    But the reality is that when the atmospheric temperature is below 100 C°, the Earth's surface temperature is much higher than 100 C°. So the heavy rain fell to the ground and immediately evaporated. Therefore, the actual rainfall time will be extended. It is estimated that it will take 100 years.

    It can be seen that the landlord's estimate is 10,000 times larger than the actual one.

    About 4 billion years ago, millions of years of intense rainfall and evaporation alternated, accompanied by a gradual decrease in the temperature of the earth's surface, and finally formed a primeval ocean covering the global surface with little difference in depth.

    Are you saying that at some point on Earth there will be millions of years of continuous rain? It's impossible! Not to mention the rain that has been raining for millions of years in a row, it is difficult to rain for the next year or a few months in a row!

    More than 200 million years ago, in the late Triassic period, there were two million years of heavy rainfall, which is known as the "Carney Flood Event" or "Carney Rainstorm Period". A large number of creatures were drowned, and the surviving amphibians developed into dinosaurs.

    This is the result of scientists based on stratigraphic analysis.
