There are billions of people on earth living in different continents

There are billions of people on earth living in different continents, but how did these vast regions come into being?

For a long time, scientists believe that large asteroids or meteorites collided with the earth in ancient times, which gave rise to the continents.

Now, a new study supports the idea of ​​how the continents came to be on Earth.

Research from Australia’s Curtin University provided evidence for the formation of the continents.
According to the research, meteorite collisions were more common in our solar system in ancient times and possibly resulted in the formation of continents on Earth.

There is no need to mention that the 7 continents of the earth are Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Antarctica while 70% of the area is covered by ocean.

The current topography of our planet is the result of the activity of tectonic plates and layers.

Analyzing microscopic crystals in rocks of Western Australia’s Pilbara Craton, we discovered evidence of three large meteorite impacts that indicate the Earth’s oldest crust, the researchers said.
He said that the results indicate that billions of years ago, as a result of a large meteorite collision, the continents gradually emerged on the surface of the earth.

The research team will now examine older rocks in other regions and compare the data there with samples from the Pilbara Craton to fully confirm the results.
