The Badlands Guardian: A Geological Wonder or a Product of Human Intervention?
Human ImpactThe Badlands Guardian is a geological formation in southeastern Alberta, Canada. It resembles a human head wearing a headdress and has been the subject of fascination and speculation since it was first discovered on Google Earth in 2006. Whether the Badlands Guardian is a natural formation or the product of human intervention has been the
Why the mainstream theory of greenhouse gases ignores the significant role of Earth’s surface mass in global warming
Climate & Climate ZonesGlobal warming and climate change have been a topic of concern in recent years. Scientists have studied the Earth’s climate and found that it is changing at an alarming rate. The main cause of this change is believed to be the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, including carbon
Managing Geochemical Anomalies in Stream Sediment: Best Practices for Mineral Exploration
Geology & LandformGeochemical anomalies in stream sediments can provide valuable information for mineral exploration. However, interpreting the data can be challenging, and it is important to use appropriate methods to ensure accurate results. This article discusses best practices for dealing with geochemical anomalies in stream sediment, including sample collection, analysis, and interpretation. Sample Collection The first step
Exploring the Feasibility of Beaming Heat into Space: Geoengineering Possibilities
Human ImpactGeoengineering is a field of science that explores ways to manipulate the Earth’s environment to mitigate the effects of climate change. One of the proposed solutions to reduce the Earth’s temperature is to reflect sunlight back into space or to emit heat from the Earth’s surface into space. This article will focus on the latter
Decoding the Enigmatic Patterns of Basalt Rocks
Geology & LandformBasalt is a common extrusive igneous rock formed by the rapid cooling of lava at the Earth’s surface. It is composed of mafic minerals such as pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar, and is characterized by its dark color and fine-grained texture. One of the most fascinating aspects of basalt is the intricate and often enigmatic patterns
Does Solar Energy Contribute to Atmospheric Expansion Along with Global Warming?
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Earth’s atmosphere is an essential component of our planet’s climate system. It is a complex mixture of gases that plays a critical role in regulating the planet’s temperature, protecting life from harmful radiation, and supporting weather and climate patterns. The atmosphere is heated by the sun, which radiates energy in the form of visible
