AI6YR BenABC News: This volcano just erupted for the 1st time in 10,000 years
The Hayli Gubbi volcano in Ethiopia had been dormant for all of recorded history. The eruption on Sunday, Nov. 23, sent massive ash clouds across the Red Sea.

Nam Henderson#ICYMI “rocks are best understood not as nouns but verbs, signifying events and processes…Herein lies Earth’s secret to wrinkling time…Accepting that we too live in geologic time can free us from narcissism…We may then realize that the text of the Earth itself is full of guidance on durable design and start laying the groundwork for a post-Anthropocene world” https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/wrinkled-time/ via @emergencemagazine re: #deeptime #geologictime + more
Wrinkled Time: The Persistence of Past Worlds on Earth – Marcia Bjornerud
“We live in a vast, labyrinthine library of time.” In this essay, geologist Marcia Bjornerud celebrates the deep time-fulness of Earth, and orients us to read the many-volume stories kept in the rock beneath our feet.

Hari TulsidasThe Anthropocene Epoch is a proposed name for the current period of geologic time, in which human activities have significantly altered Earth’s surface, atmosphere, oceans, and nutrient cycling systems. The term is derived from Greek and means the “recent age of man”. The Anthropocene Epoch should start in 1950, coinciding with the Atomic Age and the Great Acceleration of socioeconomic and Earth system trends.

Heron&Fox PhotoA #macrophotography #photo of a #quartz #crystal and the #rock matrix it started to grow on. Projections and partial #terminations, as well as rock #inclusions give character and color to the otherwise milky #translucence or #transparent #color of pure #silicondioxide #SiO2.
It’s #interesting (to 🦊 Fox, the #photographer) that SiO2 is a clear analog of #carbondioxide #CO2. #Silicon and #carbon are both in the same #Group on the #PeriodicTable (#IUPAC #Group14 to physicists, #GroupIV). But on the #Earth, SiO2 #crystallizes. Under what #conditions does CO2 crystallize? What do CO2 crystals that have grown over #geologictime look like?
Sometimes 🦊 wonders odd things.

Vicky Veritas“Little by little, over more than two centuries, the local stories told by rocks in all parts of the world have been stitched together into a great global tapestry - the geologic timescale. This "map" of Deep Time represents one of the great intellectual achievements of humanity, arduously constructed by stratigraphers, paleontologists, geochemists, and geochronologists from many cultures and faiths. It is still a work in progress to which details are constantly being added and finer and finer calibrations being made.”
