Thefirst step of plate tectonics,
the mystery of how Earth evolved from a single
plate to the present day remains unanswered.
some theories suggest
that earlier periods
had a single protoplate
covering the entire
planet,
while others propose
that plate tectonics underwent gradual evolution.
recent research,
published in the
Earth and Planetary Science Letters,
seems to shed new light on this ancient
biological puzzle.
*Orosirian cold eclogite from Baltica reveals the
foundation of

the study,
which
was published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters,
introduced new findings
about the

confirming
that plate tectonics
began
as far back as
the Paleoproterozoic epoch
(about
1.6
billion
years ago).
the researchers
analyzed eclogites,
which
typically
formed
under high pressure and heat
from
subduction zones,
and
used radiometric
dating
to
determine their
ages.
their work suggested
that the

six thousand
