Earth’s energy switch recorded in mineral grains
New research suggests Earth’s early crust stopped being powered mainly by giant asteroid impacts and started running on its own internal heat about 3.9 billion years ago. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Scientists believe that the early Earth experienced a period of intense bombardment by asteroids and comets, which may have delivered significant amounts of water and organic molecules to the planet. #EarlyEarth #Bombardment #WaterDelivery

Elements necessary for #life, like phosphorous, how did they form on Earth? Most #phosphorous in rock won't work, it must be bio-available P. All crucial questions to decipher the origin of life.

Did lightning provide phoshorus to ancient life?
The role of lightning during the emergence of life has consequences for extraterrestrial life hypotheses

4/9 "To geologists, rocks are like books," says O'Neil, now at University of Ottawa. They contain chemical records of ancient environments.

These rocks could reveal when oceans formed, when life began, and when plate tectonics started. Nearly no record exists from this time.
