4 Billion Years of Earth’s Crust Detected

Although we know a lot about the world, it is a fact that there are many secrets that have not yet been discovered. scientists continues to work to reveal these secrets. One of the areas at the center of the studies is the past of our planet.

Studies done to find out what is under the crust of the Earth that we see, deeper It also requires revealing what it is. For these studies, minerals, especially on beaches, are examined by using lasers thinner than a human hair, instead of giant excavation machines.

4 billion year layer in Western Australia

A 4 billion year old piece of land under the western part of Australia has been discovered. It doesn’t matter if the soil discovered here is just ancient, but the continent’s past in 4 billion years It is noteworthy that it plays an important role in the geological transformation.

Thanks to this study, we may find new clues about how life arose on our once-living planet. According to scientists, this is thanks to the expansion in the crust. stone structures It was blended with new materials from the deep and mixed with the first earth crust samples. The found specimens also managed to protect themselves from the natural events that led to the formation of mountains.

It is possible to look at the surface and understand space.

It is not easy to understand what is under the earth’s crust and to reveal its past. For this, first of all, it is necessary to find a suitable sample. The discovery in Australia is of great importance in this sense. through laser Thanks to the sands that are evaporated and separated into their component materials, it is possible to examine what kind of structure emerged in which region and due to which conditions.

Scientists also aim to make it possible for us to understand how planetary crusts form and how they can transform over time, thanks to this discovery. Thus in space of other planets It will be possible to evaluate the possibilities of harboring life.
