How they were formed continents on which we walk today? For decades, geology has debated whether the primitive Earth was dominated by “vertical tectonics” – that is, plumes of heat rising from the mantle without lateral movement – or by plate tectonics similar to modern ones. A new study published in Science Advances provides convincing evidence: the first cries of ...
Image generated with AI. There Local Interstellar Clouda set of gases and dust through which our Solar System moves, appears to have been produced by a single supernova explosion millions of years ago. The result is due to a team of German researchers who collected and analyzed it well 295 kg of Antarctic ice at different depths. The perennial ice ...
