Scientists find evidence for an ancient supercontinent that covered 80 percent of Earth's surface
1+ hour, 5+ min ago (1128+ words) Ancient crust buried beneath modern mountains suggests Gondwana once contained about 80% of Earth’s continental landmass. (CREDIT: Wikimedia / CC BY-SA 4.0) Hundreds of millions of years after Gondwana broke apart, enormous pieces of the ancient landmass may still be hiding beneath some…...
Why Some Mountains Are Flat On Top
7+ hour, 58+ min ago (682+ words) WorldAtlas Grand Mesa in western Colorado has a summit plateau of roughly 500 square miles, a tabletop broad enough to hold more than 300 lakes. Around the mesa, softer rock beneath its basalt cap has steadily eroded while the resistant summit has…...
A 500-Kilometer Zone Under Italy Reveals a Strange Movement Deep Inside Earth’s Crust
5+ hour, 55+ min ago (649+ words) Something is quietly shifting deep beneath Italy, invisible to anyone standing above it. New research has now brought that hidden process to light, revealing an unexpected way Earth's crust continues to evolve. Deep beneath Italy, a slow geological process is…...
Geologic Hydrogen Exploration: Michigan Invests $7.5 Million in Clean Energy Research
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (143+ words) Michigan is investing $7.5 million to explore naturally occurring geologic hydrogen, funding mapping, test wells and regulatory readiness as part of a statewide clean energy initiative. Start a free 7-day trial for unlimited articles plus hydrogen company, project & technology intelligence. Cancel…...
Italy’s Apennine Mountains mystery: Why is Earth’s crust slowly ‘unzipping’ deep underground, and what is happening beneath the surface?
2+ day, 11+ hour ago (470+ words) Scientists studying Italy’s Apennine Mountains have found a strange process deep below the surface. The Earth’s crust in this region appears to be slowly pulling apart, almost like a zip opening from underground. The finding comes from researchers at the…...
Why is this 560-million-year-old fossil so rare?
2+ day, 2+ hour ago (635+ words) One of the oldest known 3D animal fossils dating back 560 million years has been found in a sheep field. The astonishing discovery of the creature that looked like a "goo-filled bag" when it was alive was made in northern Norway. Scientists…...
Tanzania’s Ol Doinyo Lengai is the only active volcano known to erupt natrocarbonatite, the coolest lava on Earth: it flows at roughly 500–590°C, against 1,100°C or more for Hawaiian basalt. Fresh flows look black or dark brown in daylight, then react with rain and atmospheric moisture until the mountainside turns chalk-white—as though someone spilled milk over the lava.
2+ day, 23+ hour ago (791+ words) Ol Doinyo Lengai’s 500–590°C carbonate lava flows black, then atmospheric moisture and rain transform its unstable minerals into pale, rapidly weathering surfaces....
800 million years old - Scientists discover 'fingerprints' of supercontinent Gondwana in ancient rocks
3+ day, 11+ hour ago (286+ words) Gondwana is an ancient continent which scientists have now confirmed was a supercontinent that spread over 80 per cent of the landmass on Earth. They found 25,000 ancient rocks, and AI helped them determine that they belonged to Gondwana 500 million years ago....
Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9004: Construction of a Long-Lived Hydrothermal Architecture for W, Au-Sb Deposits During Variscan Belt Thermal Collapse, French Massif Central (330–295 Ma)
3+ day, 8+ hour ago (412+ words) Since pioneering fluid-flow models for the Iberian and French Variscan belt, advances in geochronology, thermochronology, and geodynamic modeling have improved our understanding of late Variscan crustal evolution. New datasets suggest tungsten and gold mineralization do not represent distinct metallogenic events,…...
Isotope Hydrology Symposium Seeks Abstract Submissions
3+ day, 9+ hour ago (221+ words) The IAEA houses one of the world's leading isotope hydrology laboratories at its Vienna headquarters, where scientists generate and curate the data behind global monitoring networks such as the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation, helping Member States assess and…...
