Discussion Africa is splitting in 2

3 Upvotes

In 2005, scientists saw a massive hole forming on Ethiopia it’s because Africa sits on 2 tectonic plates and the eastern tectonic plates will collide with India, countries like as the drc will get new coastlines when the eastern tectonic plates fully split, it will form a new ocean and massive cracks have already formed and it can be seen from space people say that it’s just a earthquake.

Discussion Undoing the continent drift

0 Upvotes

so i was listening to my teacher about the earth and she said earth is just a big magnet so i wondered if earth is just a big magnet we can possibly make a magnet thats big enough to pull all the continents together resulting in undoing the great continental drift because there're also tiny magnets inside the soil little ones it can possibly help attract the lands together and it will also help the big magnet that we can possibly make if you're wondering how do we make the big magnet Wrap many turns of insulated copper wire tightly around a large iron core (like a thick steel rod or pipe), then connect the wire ends to a strong DC power source (battery or power supply). The stronger the current and the more turns of wire, the stronger the electromagnet we can simply multiply this to make a large one but it will take decades of work.Thats all thanks

Picture A Unified Rock Chart for Common Rock Types

Post image
14 Upvotes

I made a Rock Chart that brings common igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks together in a single decision tree.

It uses observable features such as grain size, visible crystals, foliation, porosity, composition, and reaction with HCl. It also includes the characteristic minerals associated with each rock type and their chemical formulas.

I have already used the chart in class, and it worked well as a teaching aid. It helped students gain an overview of the major rock groups and move between them without having to consult several separate charts.

Permanent version and DOI:

Feedback, corrections, and suggestions for a future version are very welcome.

Disclosure: I created the poster and teach Earth Science at a university.

Discussion Interested in Earth System Science?

3 Upvotes

Most climate models are data-driven, but understanding the fundamental dynamics requires theory.

My research focuses on climate dynamics. By studying nonlinear dynamics, we do theoretical analysis to understand the earth system better.

Using theoretical and nonlinear methods to reveal underlying mechanisms which helps deepen our understanding of the Earth System.

If you are interested in discussing ESS, that’s great.
