Crystal gems found in extreme igneous rocks could form within hours, study suggests
Researchers from Rice University in Texas and the University of California, Riverside have found that gems can grow within hours inside extreme igneous rocks called pegmatites, instead of the thousands of years they usually take to form. In a study published in the journal Nature, the researchers described how they examined sample crystals from a pegmatite mine in Southern California. Using […]

Scientists extract new-found mineral from a South African diamond
An unusual mineral was discovered embedded within a diamond from a South African volcanic site. The mineral called goldschmidtite represents a new supergroup of minerals, according to a study published in the journal American Mineralogist, and it could hint at the chemical processes that occur deep within the Earth’s mantle. Named in honor of the geochemist Victor Moritz […]

Study: New radioactivity model indicates lost continents of early Earth, challenging current models
Current geological models of Earth’s past tend to assume that the seven continents as we know them have been consistent throughout out planet’s history. A recent study, however, has called that into doubt, hinting at the possibility that other continents may have come and gone in our planet’s prehistoric past. Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have published […]

Brooks Range in Alaska was TRANSPORTED from Greenland: Findings could rewrite the region’s history, posit researchers
For some time now, scientists have theorized that Alaska originally started out as part of Canada’s Arctic archipelago, before continental drift put it where it is today. Now, scientists found evidence that the state may have come from farther to the east, closer to Greenland. The new evidence comes from a geological survey of the Brooks Range, […]

Scientists warn the rotation of the Earth is SLOWING… will they call this “climate change,” too?
Scientists from the University of Colorado and the University of Montana have come together to study the relationship between Earth’s seismic activity and the speed of Earth’s rotation. Every day, the Earth’s complete rotation on its axis fluctuates by about a millionth of a second. For the past four years, the rotation has slowed due […]

Researchers find that the Earth’s mantle is “more dynamic” than previously believed
The medial zone of the Earth’s three-layered interior, the mantle is itself divided into upper and lower parts. Most experts believe that the lower mantle is dormant, but a recent European study found greater signs of dynamic activity in the region. The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of the planet. […]

Mesmerized by the ocean? To understand why the moon is where it is, start with Earth’s tides
As far as the human race remembers, the moon has always been there. But how did it get up there in the first place – and what keeps it revolving around Earth? By firing lasers at artificial mirrors deployed on the moon, researchers have learned that Earth’s satellite is drifting away at the rate of […]

More evidence found of devastating asteroid strike 13,000 years ago
Could a huge asteroid hit our planet and cause mass devastation? As much as we’d like to think this type of occurrence is confined to science fiction, new evidence has been found pointing to a giant asteroid hit 12,800 years ago – and if it happened before, it could happen again. In South Africa, scientists […]

Mantle mystery: Geologists don’t know what to make of two continent-sized mountains found beneath the Earth’s crust
Did you know that there are enormous “blobs of masses” between your feet and the core of the Earth? While scientists know for certain that they exist, the purpose they serve continues to baffle them. These blobs are as wide as continents and are as high as Mount Everest. They are found at the bottom […]

New satellite data from NASA show how carbon links everything on Earth
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released satellite data gathered by the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2). This carbon dioxide-monitoring satellite has collected over two-and-a-half years’ worth of information that, according to NASA scientists, show how carbon links together everything on Earth. From human activities to weather hazards to biological processes, carbon is present […]
