Changes in Earth’s crust caused oxygen to fill the atmosphere
New research has uncovered a direct link between changes in the earth’s crust three billion years ago and the introduction of free oxygen to the atmosphere. Without these changes, oxygen could have been suppressed in earth’s crust forever, so the … Continue reading
Geophysicist: Weight of Harvey Rains Caused Houston to Sink
Houston man Searches Flooded Cars A California geophysicist says the sheer weight of the torrential rains brought by Harvey has caused Houston to sink by 2 cm. Chris Milliner, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California … Continue reading
What Caused the World’s Greatest Extinction?
A quarter of a billion years ago, long before dinosaurs or mammals evolved, the 10-foot (0.3-meter) predator Dinogorgon, whose skull is shown here, hunted floodplains in the heart of today’s South Africa. In less than a million years Dinogorgon vanished … Continue reading
What caused the world’s greatest extinction?
Researcher offers new clues to what may have triggered the world’s most catastrophic extinction, nearly 252 million years ago. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Falling Sea Level Caused Volcanoes to Overflow
Model of an island volcano. During the last transition to glacial conditions the decreasing pressure at the seafloor could have induced increased lava- and carbon dioxide emissions. New connections between the solid earth and the climate system Climate evolution shows … Continue reading
Falling sea level caused volcanoes to overflow
During the transition to the last ice age approximately 80,000 years ago global temperature declined, while the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere remained relatively stable. Scientists have now discovered that a falling sea level may have caused enhanced volcanic … Continue reading
