  9. Origin of water on Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_water_on_Earth

    Hydrated silicates on the surface transport water into the mantle at convergent plate boundaries, where oceanic crust is subducted underneath continental crust. While it is difficult to estimate the total water content of the mantle due to limited samples, approximately three times the mass of the Earth's oceans could be stored there. [21]
