Old rocks, biased knowledge: Overcoming challenges learning the geodynamo
Bias launched by means of analyzing the magnetism of previous rocks will not be giving geophysicists an correct concept of how Earth’s magnetic dynamo has functioned. A staff has proven there’s a approach to enhance the methodology to get a … Continue reading →
Ancient Earth as a mannequin for learning hazy exoplanets
When haze constructed up within the environment of Archean Earth, the younger planet may need seemed like this artist’s interpretation — a pale orange dot. A group led by Goddard scientists thinks the haze was self-limiting, cooling the floor by … Continue reading →
Ancient Earth as a mannequin for learning hazy exoplanets
For astronomers making an attempt to know which distant planets may need liveable circumstances, the position of atmospheric haze has been hazy. To assist type it out, a group of researchers has been trying to Earth – particularly Earth in … Continue reading →
Scientists are studying the solid Earth to evaluate magnetic-storm hazards
Graphic showing how the geoelectric vectors (black) can vary with location during a magnetic storm. Locations with cool colors (blue and green) and long lines represent relatively higher hazards for impacts on Earth?s surface from a magnetic storm. Locations with … Continue reading →
Hi, I’ve just begun studying geology, could you please explain xenoliths to me? Thanks!
A xenolith is a piece of something that broke off and got stuck in something else. Like pieces of mantle rock that break off and are often found in basalts are known as mantle xenoliths.? Like this! Geology Nerd
