Eruption of ancient material

On April 26 2013 Some researchers found new proof that material in oceanic lava flows was originally in Earth’s ancient crust. Because of this it supports the theory that much of the Earth’s original crust has been recycled.

More information Archean which is dating from 3.8 to

2.5 billion years ago and it is the source of the oldest exposed rock formations on the planet’s surface.

Asteroid impact 3.26 billion years ago

There is a new theory on how the mass extinction of the dinosaurs and it is that a massive asteroid almost as wide as Rhode Island and about three to five times larger than the rock thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs slams into Earth. The collision punches a crater into the planet’s crust that’s nearly 500 kilometers 

What could it have done? thought to have created geological

features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. 

Its only one right? The impact may have been one of

dozens of huge asteroids that scientists think hit the Earth during a major period of impacts that occurred early in the Earth’s history. They also found a handful of areas in South Africa, and Western Australia that still harbor evidence of these impacts that occurred between 3.23 billion and 3.47 billion years ago

A diamond deep below earths surface is locked in minerals

The mineral contains a significant amount of water(1.5 per cent of its weight) it confirms scientific theories about vast amounts of water trapped 410 to 660 kilometers beneath the Earth

Where is it found The diamond had been brought to

the Earth’s surface by a volcanic rock known as kimberlite the most deeply derived of all volcanic rocks. It was said that it was mostly found in the transition zone.
