Research has shown that in the early days of Earth's formation, the foundations that support the land mass were weak and could be easily destroyed.
A research team at Monash University in Australia drew the results of this study based on mathematical modeling and published it in the scientific journal “Nature” on the 2nd.
Early Earth's history, including 1.5 billion years immediately after its birth, is so far little known and consequently poorly understood.
The first author of the thesis, Dr. Fabio Capitanio, from the Department of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University, said, “This is the time when the first continents were formed, land appeared, the atmosphere developed, and primitive life began to appear. "The result of the dynamics."
“As a result of reproducing the initial state of the Earth in a computer-generated numerical model, the fact that the shallow mantle melted on a large scale due to the dissipation of raw heat, which is three to four times the current, and magma protrudes above the surface. Showed me” he explained.
Dr. Fabio Capitanio said, "Our research shows that the continents of Earth about 4.5 to 4 billion years ago remained in a weak and fragile stage, then gradually differentiated and hardened over the next 1 billion years, forming the core of the continents as they are today." Said.
After the emergence of such a solid continent, weathering and corrosion took place, changing the composition of the atmosphere, while supplying nutrients to the sea and sowing seeds that could cause life.
