The Indian Plate Could Be Undergoing a Split Similar to East Africa’s Division

Earth Science, Geology, Science /

A new study proposes that the Indian Continental Plate may be undergoing a unique form of splitting, not vertically like East Africa, but horizontally as it converges with Eurasia. This unconventional process could create two layers, each approximately 100 kilometers (60 miles) thick. Understanding the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau: Seeking Clarity Despite the Himalayas being […]

Methane Threat: The Alarming Migration of Natural Gas Under Permafrost

Climatology, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Science /

According to scientists, large amounts of methane may be stored beneath the permafrost and could leak if it thaws. Methane is spreading beneath the permafrost in Svalbard, according to research. While lowland areas contain ice-rich permafrost that acts as an excellent gas seal, highland areas with less ice appear more porous. If permafrost thaws excessively,
