Did floor life evolve on Mars? Newly revealed analysis casts elevated doubt
Floor life on Earth is plentiful due to the provision of daylight, floor water, usually average local weather situations. However the planet Mars would have by no means skilled such liveable situations on the floor, in accordance with new analysis. … Continue reading

Scientists uncover air pollution 10,000 meters under the ocean’s floor
A patch of sea rubbish at sea within the Pacific Ocean. A research, led by Newcastle University’s Dr Alan Jamieson, has uncovered the primary proof that human-made pollution have now reached the farthest corners of our earth. Sampling amphipods from … Continue reading

Tectonic shift? Study of olivine provides new data for measuring Earth’s surface
A recent study provides a new data set that scientists can use to better understand plate tectonics — the movement of the earth’s outer layer. Specifically, it contributes to understanding how plates are defined and measured, which is critical for … Continue reading
Study of olivine provides new data for measuring earth’s surface
Olivine basalt Plate tectonics, the idea that the surface of the Earth is made up of plates that move apart and come back together, has been used to explain the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes since the 1960s. One well-known … Continue reading
Geodynamics: Surface sculpting by hidden agents
Nature Geoscience 9, 867 (2016). doi:10.1038/ngeo2842 Author: Nicky White Tectonic plate interiors are often regarded as relatively inactive. Yet, reconstructions of marine terrace uplift in Angola suggest that underlying mantle flow can rapidly warp Earth’s surface far from obviously active … Continue reading
