Scientists devised a systematic new physical mechanism to explain uplift and erosion events in the continents of Earth.
Scientists developed a new landscape evolution model based on advanced computer models and statistical methods and ran simulations to explain the phenomena.
Gernon alongside a team of scientists undertook a research project to investigate the impact of global tectonic forces on landscape evolution over hundreds of millions of years.The lead author told IE that the last, arguably best-known, example is the breakup of the Pangea supercontinent, which began around 240 million years ago.“The southern part of Pangea, known as Gondwana, fragmented 135 million years ago, resulting in the separation of South America and Africa.
Only to discover that even the stable regions of continents are susceptible to uplift and several kilometers of erosion over a relatively brief interval of time when compared to the age of such regions , the scientist toldTherefore, scientists developed a new landscape evolution model based on advanced computer models and statistical methods and ran simulations to explain the phenomena.
For example, the chemical weathering of certain phosphorus-rick rocks such as basalts can trigger deoxygenation. This can cause major biological crises .
