Nitrogen is only ~3% of the atmosphere of Venus, but it holds clues to its past: the abundance can be explained only if there was a period of active tectonics, which lasted >1 Gyr before transitioning into the current stagnant lid. @PlanetaryGeodyn et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…

Scientists make the case that the Venus may have had plate tectonics making it more hospitable to life. Dr. Alexandria Johnson, of @PurdueEAPS, is part of the research team discussed in this @nytimes article. @avblanch #thenextgiantleap bit.ly/3scUGjZ
Billions of Years Ago, Venus May Have Had a Key Earthlike Feature (Published 2023)

Billions of Years Ago, Venus May Have Had a Key Earthlike Feature (Published 2023)

A new study makes the case that the solar system’s hellish second planet once may have had plate tectonics that could have made it more hospitable to life.
