Supermountains May Have Played Crucial Role in Evolution of Life on Earth geoscience science
“There are links between these two instances of supermountains and the two most important periods of evolution in Earth’s history,” Zhu said.
“The second, known as the Transgondwanan Supermountain, coincides with the appearance of the first large animals 575 million years ago and the Cambrian explosion 45 million years later, when most animal groups appeared in the fossil record.” When the mountains eroded they provided essential nutrients like phosphorous and iron to the oceans, supercharging biological cycles and driving evolution to greater complexity.
