Deep Earth model traces 270 million years of seamount formation across oceans
✦AI Summary
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new model to explain the formation of over 40,000 seamounts across the ocean floor. The study refines the classical mantle plume hypothesis by using 270 million years of Earth's interior dynamic data.
Why it matters
This research provides a more comprehensive understanding of geological processes and the evolution of the Earth's crust and mantle.
