Growing up I was very interested in space and I had come to think of planetary evolution to be just sort of a process that reaches a natural balance that is "now". These days a lot of the science I consume seems to have a better understanding of the past and that "balance" is just seen as a stage in ongoing planetary change. Of course I thought of that evolution as just the outside of a planet, but it makes sense that the inside matters too. It's interesting how different things can be along various stages and dynamics at play.
