Plants pull carbon from air during photosynthesis. They store carbon in leaves, wood and roots. This process supports the global carbon cycle.
-
These formations, nicknamed "BLOBS," stretch across the mantle layer around 3,000 kilometres beneath the surface.
-
Dorsal vertebrae also feature distinctive transitional forms that emphasise how sauropods were evolving. Scientists consider the features to position the species in a primitive branch of the rebbachisaurid family.
-
A 35-mile-long fissure is cutting through Ethiopia’s crust. Known as the East African Rift, it keeps spreading wider.
-
Scientists previously assumed the Indian plate slid smoothly beneath Asia. The process was assumed to lift the mountains gradually. But now, new data indicates something quite different.
-
Scientists suggest Earth's inner core may have changed shape over the past 20 years, potentially affecting the planet's magnetic field, based on seismic wave analysis.
-
Scientists have monitored the magnetic north pole for centuries. The World Magnetic Model (WMM) predicts its future position.
-
New research suggests Earth may have six continents, not seven, with North America and Europe still connected.
-
Uncover the secrets of the Himalayas' formation as scientists reveal the Indian Plate's hidden movements, plate delamination, and its implications for earthquake risks in the region.
-
Discover the natural wonder of Antarctica's pyramid-shaped mountain, formed by millions of years of freeze-thaw erosion, debunking conspiracy theories of ancient civilizations or extraterrestrial influence.
-
The latest World Magnetic Model update predicts changes in Earth's magnetic field for the next five years, ensuring accurate navigation for users worldwide.
-
Discover how the massive S2 meteorite, 4 times the size of Mount Everest, may have sparked life on Earth 3.26 billion years ago by unleashing vital nutrients.
-
Discover the 2-billion-year-old microbes found trapped in a South African rock, revealing insights into early Earth and the potential for extraterrestrial life.
-
Uncover the secrets of dinosaur origins with the discovery of Gondwanax paraisensis, a 237-million-year-old reptile fossil in southern Brazil.
-
Over billions of years, the planet’s surface has continuously shifted, altering its landscape and continental positions. This dynamic process, marked by both expansion and contraction, has drawn attention to the destruction of once-stable cratons.
-
Scientists estimate this underground reservoir could be three times larger than all the oceans combined. However, unlike surface oceans, this "hidden ocean" isn't made up of liquid water.
-
Mount Everest, standing at 8.85 kilometres above sea level, continues to rise, according to a recent study published in Nature Geoscience.
-
ecent findings show the Antarctic ozone hole this year is smaller and formed later than expected, raising questions about whether Earth is on the path to healing.
-
According to a recent study in Earth & Planetary Science Letters, our planet might have hosted a ring system around 466 million years ago. If proven, this discovery could solve many puzzles from Earth’s ancient past.
-
In a new study, geologists from Australia and China have pieced together Earth's tectonic evolution over the past 1.8 billion years.
-
In what may serve as a dampener for the economic prospects of the agricultural sector, US-based forecaster Earth Science today revised downwards its India monsoon forecast to 88 percent of the long period average (LPA).
