Earth's Greenhouse Age Ends

According to a study published on Phys.org Earth Sciences, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery about the Earth's transformation from a tropical greenhouse to an ice-capped planet. The research suggests that a significant decrease in calcium levels in the ocean may have triggered the massive drop in temperature after the dinosaurs went extinct, 66 million years ago. This finding sheds new light on the Earth's geological history and could have implications for our understanding of the planet's mineral composition and formation. As reported by Phys.org, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between the Earth's oceans, climate, and geology, which is essential for mineral exploration and the mining industry.
