Credit: UnsplashAfter weeks of scorching heat and dry conditions in the majority of the UK, with drought announced in parts of England, it seems that a big downpour is what we need.However, the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms predicted by the Met Office this week might be a threat.Researchers are warning that the storms can...
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainThe recently published Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on influences, adaptation, and vulnerability acknowledges that climate modification effects and dangers are becoming increasingly complex and more challenging to manage. Multiple weather dangers will happen together, and multiple climatic and non-climatic dangers will interact, resulting in worsening overall threats and...
According to most geophysical models, earthquakes should not happen more than 300 kilometers beneath Earth's surface. However, they commonly do, an event that has confounded seismologists for years.Imperfections such as the inclusions (dark flecks) in this diamond reveal that tectonic slabs can carry water deep into Earth's mantle. EVAN SMITH/© 2021 GIAResearchers suggest...
Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth’s inner core oscillates, contradicting previously held beliefs that it consistently rotates at a faster rate than the planet’s surface.A groundbreaking study by USC researchers challenges the previous model that the Earth's inner core rotates continuously faster than the planet's surface.According to their research, published in Science Advances,...
These rocks at the Devil’s Punchbowl geologic formation near Los Angeles were uplifted by movement along the Punchbowl Fault, a now-inactive portion of the larger San Andreas FaultNew study might develop understanding of how today's tremors release energyEarthquakes have rocked the planet for ages. Studying the quakes of old could aid scientists in better...

Credit: singularityhub.Some 252 million years ago, the world was going through a turbulent period of fast global warming. To recognize what created it, researchers have wanted to one certain event in which a volcanic eruption in what is now Siberia spewed big volumes of greenhouse gas right into the ambiance.However, there is proof the...
The Earth illustration. Credit:NASA.Earth's inside Structure received new attention from scientists. A new study led by a College of Cambridge is the first to take a detailed picture of an unusual pocket of rock at the border layer with the Planet's core, some 3 thousand kilometers under the surface, giving new hope of understanding...
The record-setting solar cell shines red under blue luminescence. Credit: Printed Electronics World.Researchers at the U.S. Division of Energy's National Renewable resource Research Laboratory (NREL) developed a solar cell with a record 39.5% performance under 1-sun global illumination. This is the greatest effective solar cell of any kind, measured using standard 1-sun problems."The brand-new...
Scientists develop a method for seasonal prediction of western wildfires. Credit: NCAR & UCAR News.This summer's Western wildfire season is most likely to be more extreme than typical but not as devastating as in 2015's near-record, according to a speculative forecast method created by researchers at the National Facility for Atmospheric Study (NCAR).Using artificial...
