Scientists discovered Earth's first crust had continental chemical signatures. This challenges beliefs about when these ...

It’s long been thought that tectonic plates needed to dive beneath each other to create the chemical fingerprint we see in ...

Geologists have made certain assumptions about how the crust making up our planet's earliest surface formed, but a new study ...

Researchers have made a new discovery that changes our understanding of Earth’s early geological history, challenging beliefs about how our continents formed and when plate tectonics began. A study ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough discovery that changes our understanding of Earth's early geological history, ...

Using simulations of early Earth conditions, scientists found that the intense heat and molten environment of the planet’s infancy created these signatures naturally. The finding shakes up how we ...

Earth is the only known planet which has plate tectonics today. The constant movement of these giant slabs of rock over the ...

This discovery has major implications for how ... Further modelling of the geodynamics of Earth’s early crust is needed to better understand when it became unstable and started to subduct.
