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

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

Earth's crust today has a surprisingly similar composition to the planet's first outer shell, or "protocrust," new research ...

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

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

A recent study challenges previous geological assumptions, revealing that Earth's initial protocrust closely resembled the ...

New research suggests that Earth's first crust, formed over 4.5 billion years ago, already carried the chemical traits we ...

Our results showed Earth’s earliest crust – known as the protocrust – that formed during the Hadean eon, would have a chemical composition identical to that of the modern average continental ...

Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet's history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics. Researchers have made a new discovery that ...
