The World Before Plate Tectonics

The video explores Earth's early conditions, focusing on the Boring Billion, a period of stability that set the stage for modern plate tectonics and life evolution. It discusses the evolution of plate tectonics, the role of subduction, and the emergence of life forms during this time. The transition to modern plate tectonics led to increased biodiversity and the development of complex life.
