Plumes of Molten Rock Could Drive Biodiversity, Climate Cycles
2013-05-01 18:34:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Giant pillars of hot molten rock from near Earth's core might help drive major cycles in the diversity of life on the planet and the global climate, according to one team of scientists who looked at the connections between these seemingly disparate phenomena. In recent years, various research teams have uncovered evidence that several kinds of biological and geological events occur in regular cycles of similar lengths. For example, a prior study of marine fossils discovered the diversity of...
