Research reveals that ancient heat flows could have organized prebiotic molecules into life’s building blocks, providing a natural mechanism for the complex molecular interactions essential for life’s origin.
Circumstances were probably a lot more chaotic four billion years ago, when prebiotic reactions created the conditions for the emergence of the first lifeforms.
Heat is produced by a wide range of geological and chemical processes, so presumably heat flows occurred almost everywhere in those distant times. If this heat flows through thin, water-filled cracks, such as arise through the rapid cooling of molten rock, it leads to water convection and to a directed movement of the dissolved molecules in the water along the heat flow.
