A new study revises the date of a Scottish meteorite impact from 1.2 billion to about 990 million years ago, providing a precise timestamp that links the event to the emergence of complex life on land, and offering insights into Earth's geological and biological evolution.
Scientists have discovered a massive, 800-million-year-old fossilized volcanic chain beneath China's Sichuan Basin, formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia, which challenges traditional views on volcanic activity's location and offers insights into Earth's ancient climate and tectonic processes.
Researchers discovered a 400-mile-long chain of fossilized volcanoes beneath the Sichuan Basin in China, formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia around 800 million years ago due to flat-slab subduction, which may have influenced Earth's past climate and expanded understanding of ancient crust formation.
