New model to accurately date historic earthquakes

A new study of Earth's inner core used seismic data from repeating earthquakes, called doublets, to find that refracted waves, blue, rather than reflected waves, purple, change over time -- providing the best evidence yet that Earth's inner core is rotating. Credit: Michael Vincent

Why a big volcanic blow-up at the popular travel destimation Santorini 3200 years ago, but just a few hundred kilometers away, no drama at the volcanoes on Aegina , Methana and Poros islands? Thin sections of the lavas from these four volcanoes yield some of the reasons why. Some minerals only form at greater depths - and the hornblende in the lava from Aegina island indicates that the magma chambers there are deeper than the those underneath the Santorini caldera. But plate tectonics add another, hidden reason also, found research from the University of Johannesburg. Credit: Prof Marlina A. Elburg, University of Johannesburg

Published in PLOS ONE today, a study by an international team from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas and Hokkaido University in Japan further explores the proliferation of the most commonly occurring duck-billed dinosaur of the ancient Arctic as the genus Edmontosaurus. The findings reinforce that the hadrosaurs - dubbed "caribou of the Cretaceous" - had a geographical distribution of approximately 60 degrees of latitude, spanning the North American West from Alaska to Colorado.

Photomicrograph in crossed polars of precious-metal bearing peridotite. Note the optical zoning (light/dark bands) in the plagioclase (grey coloured mineral) in the central part of the image. The occurrence of this zoning was the focus of the study in question. The width of the image frame is 4 mm. Credit: Nat. Geosci. (2020).

An artistic cross-section through forming crust approximately 3-4 billion years ago. The presence or absence of plate tectonics during this time is a topic of vigorous scientific debate. A study led by Harvard geologists has found evidence that the crust moved quickly over Earth's surface in the deep past, a hallmark of modern plate tectonics. This suggests that plate motion could have been a meaningful process in early Earth history. Credit: Alec Brenner, Harvard University

Tectonic plates started shifting earlier than previously thought

Predators abound on land, in the air and in water some 95 million years on the shores of northern Africa -- as shown by the abundant fossils in the Kem Kem region. Large herbivores, such as the long-necked sauropod Rebbachisaurus, could have been hunted or scavenged by several large predators. Credit: Artwork by Davide Bonadonna
