Earth's crust is unstable over time

According to new evidence that explains the evolutionary speed of the Earth and contributes to the interpretation of climate models, experts discovered the movement speed of tectonic plates carrying unstable Earth's outer shell. by the time.

'Our research results have challenged the notion that the movement speed of tectonic plates is stable over time' , according to Phys.Org quoted Kent Condie, a professor at the New Mexico Mining and Technology Institute. (America).

The Earth's continental crust can be considered a repository of Earth's history, containing information about rocks, atmospheres and fossil data.

However, it is unclear when the protective shell was formed, as well as its frequency of accretion since Earth was born 4.5 billion years ago.

Another study was conducted by University of St. Peter Cawood. Andrews (England) led the way, examining several ways of measuring continental shelf movement, and geological processes in previous reports.

They discovered from 1.7 to 0.75 billion years ago, our planet seemed to be extremely stable in terms of climate, with little geological accretion activity.

This stability may be due to the gradual cooling of the Earth's crust, and over time, it seems that the Earth's crust moves again.
