Scientists have reconstructed a long-lost tectonic plate that may have given rise to an arc of volcanoes in the Pacific 60 million years ago.
The plate, dubbed “the Resurrection,” has long been a controversial among geophysicists, with some believing it never existed. But the new reconstruction places the edge of the rocky plate along a line of known ancient volcanoes, indicating that it was once part of the crust (the upper layer of Earth), in what is today northern Canada.
University of Houston geologist Johnny Wu said in a statement: “Volcanoes form at plate boundaries, and the higher the number of plates, the more volcanoes that also affect climate change. So, when you try to model the Earth and understand how climate has changed, you really want to know how many volcanoes there are.” On the ground. “
