Earth’s abundant water, life, and unique plate tectonics have shaped its history, however, a new study suggests that plate tectonics may be a recent phenomenon with the mantle previously stratified, possibly hiding undisturbed primordial material.

A Seismic Shift – Earth’s Plate Tectonics Recently Underwent a Fundamental Change
Earth is truly unique among our Solar System’s planets. It has vast water oceans and abundant life. However, Earth's distinctiveness extends beyond its biodiversity and oceans—it is the sole planet within our solar system that experiences the phenomenon of plate tectonics, a process intrinsic to the
