More than 71% of Earth is covered by oceans, but about 95% of them remain unexplored. Only about 20% of the seafloor has been ...
Earth experienced a period of intense, large-scale volcanism during the early Aptian. Around that time, it also experienced widespread ocean deoxygenation during the Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a (OAE1a) as ...
Earth could once again be dominated by a single continental mass in roughly 200 to 250 million years. The planet moves through natural cycles in which continents break apart and later reassemble, and ...
Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago.
Lost fossils reveal that some of the first ocean predators went global astonishingly fast after Earth’s worst extinction.
New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets.
Between 720 million and 635 million years ago, Earth may have experienced one of ...
Earth froze over 717 million years ago. Ice crept down from the poles to the equator, and the dark subglacial seas suffocated ...
