Research into ancient geological events suggests that our planet has a slow, steady “heartbeat” of geological activity about every 27 million years. The pulse of clustered geological events, including volcanic activity, mass extinctions, plate reorganization, and sea level rise, moves slowly. , with a 27.5 million-year cycle of catastrophic tides, but fortunately for us, researchers believe we have another 20 million years before the next “pulse.” Many geologists believe that geological events are random over time, “but we provide statistical evidence for a common cycle, which suggests that these geological events are interconnected rather than random.” The team analyzed the dates of 89 well-understood geological events from the past 260 million years, combining more than 8 of these events changed the world together over small geological timescales, forming the catastrophic “pulse.”
