North America Is Sinking: Geologists Warn of Imminent Catastrophe  Indian Defence Review Source link

In 2016, geologists discovered an extraordinary phenomenon deep beneath a Canadian mine—a water source trapped in rock for over 2.6 billion years. This discovery, published in Nature, has provided unprecedented insights into the survival of ancient microbial life and the water’s ability to exist without exposure to sunlight for such vast periods of time. What’s more, the water is still …

As water levels in the Great Salt Lake continue to drop, a hidden and fascinating geological discovery has surfaced, bringing new scientific interest to an already fragile ecosystem. At the heart of this exploration is the discovery of mysterious “oases” dotting the exposed lakebed, revealing significant insights into the underground systems that supply the lake with fresh water. These reed-covered …

A quiet threat has emerged in the far reaches of Canada’s Yukon Territory. The Tintina fault, once thought to be dormant for millions of years, has been showing signs of seismic activity, raising concerns among researchers about the potential for future earthquakes. This finding could have serious implications for the region’s infrastructure, including nearby highways and mining operations. What Is …

A groundbreaking discovery in southern China has revealed a 400-mile-long chain of extinct volcanoes buried deep below the Sichuan Basin, a region historically part of the Yangtze Block. The findings, outlined in a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, shed light on the ancient volcanic activity that took place during the early breakup of the supercontinent …

A recent study presented at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference has sent shockwaves through the geological community, suggesting that India is on the brink of splitting in two. This groundbreaking research, supported by seismic data and isotope analysis, uncovers the process of delamination within the Indian Plate—a phenomenon where a lower part of a tectonic plate detaches and sinks …

Geologists Stumble on an Alien-Like Landscape Beneath Antarctica’s Ice  SciTechDaily Scientists discover long-lost giant rivers that flowed across Antarctica up to 80 million years ago  Live Science Extensive fluvial surfaces at the East Antarctic margin have modulated ice-sheet evolution  Nature Antarctica’s buried landscape may be slowing climate change, study finds  AOL.com Study indicate massive rivers flowed in Antarctica 80 mn years ago | Study …

Geologists recently unveiled groundbreaking seismic evidence of massive, ancient “fortresses” located nearly 1,800 miles below the Earth’s surface, in the mantle. These colossal structures are not only older and tougher than the surrounding rock, but they have reshaped our understanding of the planet’s interior. Their discovery was made possible through innovative seismic techniques, and the findings have been published in …

A groundbreaking discovery in the heart of Western Australia is poised to rewrite the future of the global iron ore market. Geologists have uncovered the largest known iron deposit in the world—located in the Pilbara region—estimated to be worth an astounding $6 trillion. This extraordinary find, reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by a team …
