refrain that the ocean depths are the last great frontier of the Earth. Yet there's a place that's even more inhospitable to humans than the crushing depths of the sea: our planet's interior.

However, they cannot be planets like Earth, but from NASA’s research, “They may have brought water and other organic compounds through collisions with Earth and other bodies in our solar system.” Comets are located in the Kuiper belt and Oort cloud and according to information, that is where they originated from. The Kuiper belt is a thick ring around

interrelationships of earth phenomena. Geography is different from other disciplines in that it doesn't have a particular "thing" it studies.
