Scientists Reveal That the Red Sea Completely Vanished 6.2 Million Years Ago

KAUST researchers discovered that the Red Sea experienced a massive disruption 6.2 million years ago, completely transforming its marine life. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have confirmed that the Red Sea once completely dried up around 6.2 million years ago, only to be suddenly refilled by a catastrophic influx of [...]

Rätsel der "Boring Billion" gelöst?

Von wegen langweilig: Bisher galt die Zeit vor 1,8 bis 0,8 Milliarden Jahren als "Boring Billion" – als Phase geologischer und biologischer Stagnation.

Ah yes, because nothing screams practicality like "let me just whip up a #WebGL model to visualize Earth's every geological hiccup over the last 100,000 years" 🌍🎨. While the rest of us were busy contemplating whether to eat the leftover pizza, someone decided to go full caveman cartographer on us. 😅📉

The Craton Enigma: Scientists Propose a New Continental Formation Theory

Ancient, vast stretches of continental crust known as cratons have stabilized Earth's continents for billions of years through shifts in landmasses, mountain formation, and ocean development. Scientists from Penn State have suggested a new mechanism that could explain the formation of cratons around

@VeroniqueB99 my partner has reminded me that #Newfoundland is at the intersection of several tectonic plates, as well as mid-image in the post above.

Here’s a piece from a member of the North Atlantic Working Group studying this, who noted that beyond Newfoundland much of the information about this #geologicalhistory lies in inaccessible seabed.

How the Earth's last supercontinent broke apart to form the world we have today

New research has found that the continents ended up where they are today because of previous plate tectonic processes that controlled how Pangaea broke apart.

Research teams from #Geology and #Palaeontology at #UniJena are studying drill cores to learn not only about Earth's #GeologicalHistory, but also about the lifeforms inhabiting our planet in past ages.
