Plate tectonics are essential if complex life is to evolve on Earth , say two scientists.
Plate tectoronics describes the process of continental plates sliding over one another, leading to subduction zones and mountains, rift valleys and volcanoes.
Having oceans is crucial because it is strongly suspected that life on Earth began in the sea.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system to have plate tectonic plates.
Stern and Gerya argue that fi should be the product of two more terms, specifically the fraction of planets with both continents and oceans.
They estimate that just 17% of exoplanets have plate tectonics, and the proportion with just the right amount of water and land is likely even smaller β between 0.02% and 1% .
