In a recent study published by the University of Pennsylvania, a research team in Earth sciences concluded that the stabilization of continents, one of the essential conditions for life, only occurred after the Earth's crust was exposed to temperatures exceeding 900°C, which is about 200 degrees higher than previously believed. Today, scientists are revealing a new secret from this deep past, not only explaining the birth of continents but also shedding light on the locations of rare minerals and possibly life beyond our planet. Billions of years ago, the Earth was a completely different world—a turbulent planet where its depths boiled with heat and its crust was formed under immense pressure. This immense heat, as described by the researchers, was...
