Chinese and Romanian researchers' study in Nature Communications suggests that solar radiation affects Earth's deep interior, influencing marine life distribution and arc magma redox state.

Solar radiation may impact Earth's deep interior, reveals a study by Chinese and Romanian researchers, published in Nature Communications. The study suggests that solar radiation's latitudinal variation creates temperature gradients on sea surfaces, influencing marine life distribution and affecting the redox state of arc magma. Geologists' data from thousands of magma samples, including deep-earth and sea samples, supports this finding.
