1. Identify a major development relevant to the topic of your news story and the scientist(s) involved. This could be an event, advancement, discovery, or paradigm shift. For example, if your topic is volcanoes, you could discuss the effect of NASA's Earth Observing System Terra satellite, which can detect eruptions in sparsely populated or inaccessible regions. This technological advancement has helped scientists study volcanoes even in areas they can't get to. Hi everyone, A major development relevant to the article is that researchers at Curtin University have recently established a new structure for dating the Earth's evolution including the formations of continents and mineral deposits. Research of how the continents formed is relevant to Earth’s formation because it is a result of plate tectonics that causes the continents to spilt and oceans to pull apart which is important to Earths geology. 2. Provide a brief summary of the scientific development and the scientist(s) who contributed to it. Researchers at Curtin University have established a new structure for dating the Earth's evolution including the formations of continents and mineral deposits by using isotopes compositions from rock samples across time and space. They included primitive meteorites that would have been formed at the same time as the solar system and other various components of Earth’s layers to recreate Earth’s mantle development. 3. Briefly address how this development impacted what we know about your topic and how we study it. Use examples from your news story and from the sources you found that discuss the development. This development impacts what we know about Earths formation. The study of how the continents formed is an important part of Earth science. This contributes to how we understand how earth evolved over time and how the continents affected Earth in different aspects. Research on the formation of Earth and continents can be conducted by scientists using a variety of methods. For example, in my original article the scientist used silicon isotopes as a tool to understand the Earth’s formation and in this article, they also used a form of isotopes for the formation of the continents. By using isotopes models in both

articles, they were able to conclude the formation of Earth and the continents that make up the Earth. Reference: Chadwick, E. (2023, July 13). New research dates the formation of Earth’s continents .

Research on how the continents formed is relevant to Earth’s construction because it is a result of plate tectonics that causes the continents to spilt and oceans to pull apart which is essential to Earth's geology.
