"We found that the dynamics of the transient mantle region take place in a very short amount of time, yet its influence on Earth evolution has lasted a few billion years"
Scientists at Yale University and the Southwest Research Institute have unearthed a remarkable story that traces the origins of theseThe story begins with the violent collisions of celestial bodies in space, setting the stage for a cosmic drama that ends with precious metals resting on the planet’s surface much closer than previously thought.
"Our research is a good example of making an unexpected discovery after re-examining conventional wisdom," remarked Korenaga in aRecent scientific consensus has established that precious metals like gold and platinum arrived on Earth billions of years ago after the early proto-Earth collided with massive celestial bodies.
Simone Marchi, an expert in impact dynamics, collaborated with Korenaga to propose a solution to this enigma. Their theory centers around a thin, "transient" region within Earth's mantle, where the shallow part melts while the deeper section remains solid.
