The GISTSeismic anisotropy offers insight into viscous BLOBs at base of Earth’s mantleby Rebecca Owen, Eos Researchers sought to improve their understanding of seismic anisotropy by modeling different versions of the mantle and its plumes. Here, a snapshot of a computer simulation from their preferred model shows how tectonic plates sink into the mantle at […]

~there is no formal process to determine who is a scientist and who is not a scientist. Anyone can be a scientist in some sense. Some professions have legal requirements for their practice (e.g. licensure) and some scientists are independent scientists meaning that they practice science on their own, but to practice science there are […]

The Hawiian Island Archipelago

Wikipedia This chain of islands, or archipelago, developed as the Pacific Plate slowly moved northwestward over a hotspot in the Earth’s mantle at a rate of approximately 32 miles (51 km) per million years. The Hawaiian Islands are formed by volcanic activity over a stationary hot spot in the Earth’s mantle, with the Pacific plate […]

There is a ‘gravity hole’ in the Indian Ocean, and scientists now think they know why | CNN

The sea level dips by over 328 feet (100 meters) in a “gravity hole” first discovered in 1948. Today, scientists hypothesize that the hole in the Indian Ocean was shaped by plumes of magma coming from deep inside the planet, according to a new study. You already know what I think caused this!

Geologists suggest early continents formed through mantle plumes, not plate collisions

From Wikipedia Another proposed origin for the LLSVPs is that their formation is related to the giant-impact hypothesis, which states that the Moon formed after the Earth collided with a planet-sized body called Theia. The hypothesis suggests that the LLSVPs may represent fragments of Theia’s mantle which sank through to Earth’s core-mantle boundary. The current […]

The Bomb Effect

Carbon-14 is produced in the stratosphere by nuclear reactions of atmospheric nitrogen with thermal neutrons produced naturally by cosmic rays (with the highest production rate 10 to 13 miles above Earth’s poles), as well as by atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and ’60. The bomb effect refers to the addition of “artificial” radiocarbon […]

Continental Drift

Continental Drift was first proposed in 1596, and by Wegener in 1915? There aren’t many theories to have survived that long. The point farthest from the center of the earth is in Ecuador We’re told that it’s because it’s on the equator where the earth bulges due to centrifugal force. The Andes go north south. […]

  A Detective looks at the evidence he has collected. Everything points to A as the perpetrator. As it turns out, B actually did it. Evidently, that same evidence can be applied to him also. And now some other things make a lot more sense.   That’s how I look at the PMIS.   There […]

this is Frenchman’s, or Sunrise Mountain. If you look at it edge on, it looks like somebody took a tire jack and tilted it up at 45°. In the first picture, that incline is desert floor. It’s 1 of 2 places (Grand Canyon) on Earth you can see “the Great Nonconformity”. I wasn’t there, but […]

Pangea Didn’t Happen

Years ago a friend gave me this globe.It revolved on its axis, and had a bezel that allowed it to be turned upside down. To be funny, I displayed it with the equator up and down, with nothing but the Pacific showing. One day I noticed that the coast of Central and South America formed […]
