Uncovering the role of oxygen concentration in the formation of early Earth magma ocean

It is widely accepted that the early Earth largely consisted of molten magma, forming a global ocean of magma. This extreme state of Earth was likely caused by the intense heat generated from accretionary impacts, meaning the collision of smaller celestial bodies with Earth. Understanding the formation of this magma ocean is crucial for comprehending Earth’s formation. It is widely accepted that the early Earth largely consisted of molten magma, forming a global ocean of magma.
