Fig. 5: Evolution of the final depth of the cenotectic ocean (cenotectic depth) for different planetary bodies from our solar system and ocean exoplanet candidates.

Fig. 5

The cenotectic ocean is the ocean occurring at the depth where the last liquid layer remains stable during the freezing of the hydrosphere over the course of geological time. Surface gravity values are taken from Ojha et al.39.
