Gooey rocks deep within the San Andreas fault generate silent earthquakes, study finds
Seismologists have been detecting deep, silent earthquakes along the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault for years. These tremors occur well below the point where most seismic activity in California is recorded, leaving geologists puzzled about why they happen. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the China Earthquake Administration attempted to find out what’s […]

Rare meteorites from Mars bring scientists closer to unlocking its secrets
An international team of researchers is trying to unravel the origins of two meteorites that came from Mars – a discovery that may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the red planet. Current data and resources are insufficient for researchers to pinpoint the exact source of the meteorites – nakhlites that were separately found in 1931 in Indiana […]

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 […]

Extraterrestrial impact may have caused abrupt climate change 12,800 years ago, research suggests
Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina. About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway through this […]

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 are closely watching an active supervolcano in California
Yellowstone might get all the headlines, but there’s another supervolcano slowly brewing in the U.S. that could one day lead to catastrophe. The Long Valley Caldera is considered a supervolcano by USGS volcanologists, although scientists were unsure until recently just how much magma was lying beneath it. Now, studies have shown that there’s a reservoir […]

Scientists uncover link between low tide and earthquakes
Many scientific investigations have been conducted to figure out if there is a connection between the tide and earthquakes. For decades, scientists have failed to understand exactly why there is an uptick in earthquake tremors during low tide. A new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, has finally figured out the mysterious link between the two. […]

Ancient “desert glass” turns out to be from a 29-million-year-old meteorite
A common desert glass scattered in the Libyan desert came from a meteor event that happened over 29 million years ago, according to a recent study. Researchers from Curtin University in Australia and the National History Museum of Vienna discovered reidite – a mineral formed only during meteorite impact – in pieces of desert glass in the […]

Researchers identify CRUCIAL 10- to 15-second moment that can signal a magnitude 7 megaquake
A pair of researchers may have found a way to predict how strong an earthquake will be. Diego Melgar from the University of Oregon and Gavin Hayes from the National Earthquake Information Center of the US Geological Survey (USGS) analyzed and compared information between various databases and GPS-gathered intel. Through this, they pinpointed a specific moment during […]
