As tectonic plates clash and pull apart, sea levels change. This process has shaped marine biodiversity over time, a new study suggests.
The massive slabs of slowly-moving rock just under Earth's surface — known as tectonic plates — may drive bursts of marine biodiversity every 36 million years, a new study finds.
This cyclical flooding and drying up of continents goes back at least 250 million years, the researchers wrote in the study, published Monday in the journal PNAS. Their analysis revealed that tectonic changes that drove shallower sea levels in and around continents every 36 million years correlated with highly biodiverse periods in the fossil record roughly 6 million to 8 million years later. Essentially, when sea level rise peaked, it led to a peak in marine biodiversity.
