What “blobs” of molten material in Earth’s interior are responsible for the rapidly moving north pole? Where are these blobs exactly?
Geology & Landform1. Getting Started The Earth’s North Magnetic Pole has been moving for many years, but recently its movement has accelerated significantly. This shift has puzzled scientists and led to a growing interest in understanding the underlying mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon. Recent research suggests that the movement of the North Pole is closely linked to

Exploring Convection: The Impact of a Black Concrete Surface on Updraft in a 1km x 1km Area
Geology & LandformGetting Started Convection is a fascinating phenomenon that plays an important role in the Earth’s atmospheric processes. It involves the transfer of heat energy through the movement of fluids such as air or water. In this article, we will explore the potential for creating convection by building a black concrete surface on a 1km x

The Shifting Continents: Exploring Earth’s Landscapes 10,000 Years Ago at the End of the Late Pleistocene Epoch
Geology & Landform1. Getting Started The Late Pleistocene Epoch, which spanned from approximately 126,000 to 11,700 years ago, was a significant period in Earth’s history. During this time, our planet experienced dramatic changes in climate that resulted in the growth and retreat of vast ice sheets across the globe. These glaciations, known as the Pleistocene Ice Age,

From Molten Sea to Solid Core: Unraveling Earth’s Early Iron Journey
Geology & LandformWasn’t the Earth a magma ocean before the core-mantle differentiation? As an expert in the field of Earth and planetary sciences, I am often asked about the intriguing question of whether Earth was once a magma ocean before the process of core-mantle differentiation. This topic is closely related to our understanding of the early stages

Revealing the Hidden Structures: Exploring Petrography Without Polarizers in Rock Thin Sections
Geology & LandformGetting Started Petrography, the branch of geoscience concerned with the study of rocks, relies heavily on thin sections for detailed analysis and characterization. Thin sections are slices of rock that are ground to a thickness of about 30 micrometers and then mounted on glass slides. These thin sections are typically examined under a polarizing microscope,
