Strange Structures Discovered in the Pacific Could Revolutionize Our Understanding of Earth’s History

A recent study led by geophysicist Simon Lamb and scientist Cornel de Ronde has revealed surprising findings that could revolutionize our understanding of the Earth’s early history and the origins of life. The research focuses on remote sites in South Africa’s Barberton Greenstone Belt and the seafloor off the coast of New Zealand, suggesting that these locations hold the key to unraveling the mysteries of the planet’s infancy. The study challenges the traditional view of the early Earth as a fiery ball of molten magma, proposing instead that the young planet was constantly rocked by large earthquakes triggered by tectonic plate movements in a subduction zone. These groundbreaking findings could potentially reshape our understanding of Earth’s geological history and provide unexpected insights into the origins of life on our planet.
