New study of the earth's crust shows that global growth was spurred three billion years ago – ScienceDaily
Curtin University researchers used ancient crystals from eroded rock found in river sediments in Greenland to successfully test the theory that portions of the ancient crust of the earth acted as "seeds" from which later generations of crusts grew. The results not only advance understanding of the Earth's crust production over time, its structure and […]
