New research suggests a hidden force may be causing continents to rise. This discovery could revolutionize how we model Earth’s surface changes and resource distribution, offering insights into seismic activity, groundwater accumulation, and even climate shifts. Knowing how landmasses move can help predict natural events and optimize resource management. #Geology #EarthScience #Continents #Tectonics #Research

3.75 Billion Year Old – Scientists Discover Evidence of an Ancient Segment of Earth’s Crust

Our #Earth is around 4.5 billion years old.
Way back in its earliest years, vast #oceans dominated. There were frequent volcanic eruptions and, because there was no free #oxygen in the #atmosphere, there was no #ozone layer. It was a dynamic and evolving #planet.
Cratons are pieces of ancient #continents that formed billions of years ago.
Studying them offers a window into how processes within and on the surface of Earth operated in the past.

Earth's #biosphere was able to increase as #continents emerged.
But when could continents first appear on rocky #planets of nearby #stars?
Radiogenic heating of the planetary mantle is evaluated through stellar metallicities.
The heat per unit mantle mass is compared to a threshold on Earth after which continents appeared.
Longer delays are inferred for some #exoplanets, but earliest continents could have arisen 2 Gyr before those on Earth.
