Earth formed from dry, rocky building blocks
A study from Caltech shows that the early Earth accreted from hot and dry materials, indicating that our planet’s water—the crucial component for the evolution of life—must have arrived late in the history of Earth’s formation.
Investigating land subsidence in Japan through consecutive DInSAR and law of material conservation
Land subsidence is a phenomenon wherein the Earth’s surface sinks downwards. It occurs mainly due to human activities, such as excessive groundwater extraction. It is a major global concern, affecting 19% of the world’s population.
Scientists detect molten rock layer hidden under earth’s tectonic plates
Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth’s crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move.
