Southwest Research Institute scientists modeled the early impact history of Earth, seeking insight into potential origins of life. These models show that asteroid impacts on the early Earth plowed up surfaces and generated hydrothermal systems, environments where life could have evolved. The team used a shock physics code that integrates how impacts fracture hard materials [...] The post Impact History Of Early Earth Created Conditions Conducive To Life appeared first on Astrobiology .
