"Groundbreaking Discovery: 36-Million-Year Geological Cycle Unleashes Explosions of Biodiversity"

Scientists have discovered that movements in Earth's tectonic plates indirectly stimulate bursts of biodiversity through 36-million-year cycles by causing sea levels to rise and fall. These cycles, which have been traced back 250 million years, significantly influence marine species diversity by altering shallow sea and shelf habitats. The fluctuations in water levels create breeding grounds for life, leading to the emergence of new species. This research challenges previous notions of species evolution and highlights the crucial role of tectonic cycles and global sea level changes in shaping the biodiversity of marine life over millions of years.
