Research published in Terra Nova highlights the potential impact of early continental formations on the chemical environment of ancient oceans.
The study suggests that these landmasses may have helped regulate boron levels, which are essential for the development of life.
This finding adds to our understanding of how geological processes may have contributed to the origins of life on Earth.
