- W4309395685 abstract "A balanced ratio of ocean to land is believed to be essential for an Earth-like biosphere and one may conjecture that plate-tectonics planets should be similar in geological properties. After all, the volume of continental crust evolves towards an equilibrium between production and erosion. If the interior thermal states of Earth-sized exoplanets are similar to the Earth's, one might expect a similar equilibrium between continental production and erosion to establish and, hence, a similar land fraction. We will show that this conjecture is not likely to be true. Positive feedback associated with the coupled mantle water - continental crust cycle may rather lead to a manifold of three possible planets, depending on their early history: a land planet, an ocean planet and a balanced Earth-like planet. In addition, thermal blanketing of the interior by the continents enhances the sensitivity of continental growth to its history and, eventually, to initial conditions. Much of the blanketing effect is however compensated by mantle depletion in radioactive elements. A model of the long-term carbonate-silicate cycle shows the land and the ocean planet to differ by about 5 K in average surface temperature. A larger continental surface fraction results both in higher weathering rates and enhanced outgassing, partly compensating each other. Still, the land planet is expected to have a substantially dryer, colder and harsher climate possibly with extended cold deserts in comparison with the ocean planet and with the present-day Earth. Using a model of balancing water availability and nutrients from continental crust weathering, we find the bioproductivity and the biomass of both the land and ocean planet to be reduced by a third to half of Earth's. The biosphere on these planets might not be substantial enough to produce a supply of free oxygen." @default.
