Scientists discovered that our continents, where we live, became strong thanks to very hot heat deep inside the Earth. Imagine that in some places, the temperature reaches over 900 degrees Celsius! 🌡️ That’s so hot that some elements, which can be radioactive, rise up, cool down, and make the land stronger. It’s like how pies taste better when they are baked in a hot oven! 🍰
Moreover, this ancient heat helped spread valuable minerals all over the planet, and scientists can now use this knowledge to search for new planets that might have life. For example, if we find minerals similar to those on Earth, it could mean there might be life there too!
❓ What kind of minerals do you think could help us find new life on other planets?
