The polynya is the dark region of open water within the ice pack. Credit: NASA Worldview A mysterious, massive hole, as large as Lake Superior or the State of Maine, has recently been spotted in the winter sea ice cover … Continue reading
Strength of tectonic plates may explain shape of the Tibetan Plateau
Geoscientists have long puzzled over the mechanism that created the Tibetan Plateau, but a new study finds that the landform’s history may be controlled primarily by the strength of the tectonic plates whose collision prompted its uplift. Given that the … Continue reading

Rust under pressure could explain deep Earth anomalies
An artwork depicting the decomposition of FeOOH in lower mantle conditions.The cycle starts from ?-FeOOH (blue dot on the top) to its high-pressure form (brown dot),to FeO2 (center crystal) and hydrogen (cyan bubbles),and finally produce other minerals (bubbles on the … Continue reading
New theory to explain why some fault segments remain quiet between quakes
Numerical simulations of earthquakes on seismogenic faults, with different stages in the fault behavior illustrated by snapshots of fault slip rates. (Left) In a conventional model, the rupture extent of large earthquakes is confined in the “seismogenic zone”, which supports … Continue reading
Spongy minerals could explain why Mars gives off methane burps
What?s causing those burps of methane?NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio It could be a blow for those who believe there?s life on the Red Planet. Spongy minerals at the surface, not living organisms, could be releasing Mars?s mysterious … Continue reading
