Some people use the term “tidal wave” instead of “tsunami,” but that is incorrect because a tsunami has nothing to do with tides. The term “seismic sea wave” is correct if the tsunami is produced by an earthquake.Tuff An igneous rock composed of pyroclastic materials that have been ...
Mission scientists are still working to confirm the source of the faint trembling, though it appears to have come not from the wind or movement of the lander's robotic arm but from below the Martian surface. If confirmed, it would be the first seismic activity ever detected on Mars. 'We'...
Arctic Oil and Natural Gas Provinces Map: The United States Geological Survey estimates that over 87% of the Arctic's oil and natural gas resource (about 360 billion barrels oil equivalent) is located in seven Arctic basin provinces: Amerasian Basin, Arctic Alaska Basin, East Barents Basin, ...

6b). For an intermediate Ti activity (Methods section; Supplementary Fig. 4) of 0.47, a mean zircon crystallization temperature of 726 °C with IQR of 699-745 °C is calculated (Fig. 6b). Considering that zircon from Nevado de Toluca records continuous melt presence in the plumbing ...
In 2008 and 2011, high-resolution seismic sub-bottom profiles were collected using a chirp sonar system, which consisted of a GeoPulse Subbottom Profiler (Model 5430A) equipped with a Model 136A tow fish. This system operates in a tuned-frequency range of 2–12 kHz; it carries four ...
Fig. 1. Location map. Bathymetry base from a compilation of datasets including the compilation published by Gutscher et al. (2017) and CUMECS-3 data. Positions of Fig. 3 and S1 (sediment wave field), sub-bottom (Fig. 4) and seismic profiles (Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7), Fig. 12...
Regional seismicity was obtained from a synoptic map showing the maximum felt seismic intensity in Italy (Boschi et al., 1995). Intensity levels were grouped into three classes, namely: low (6°–7°), medium (8°–9°), and high (10°–11°) MCS scale intensity. Regional climatic condi...
(AABW), which are part of the global conveyor belt and the main motor for the heat transfer worldwide, have to pass the southern tip of Africa. A large amount of their sedimentary freight is deposited in the submarine Transkei Basin. By the investigation of high resolution seismic reflection...
cultural ES. Therefore, in this theme we explored the comprehensive benefits of UGI by linking them to MEA categorisation. The empirical data extracted from all 690 articles were categorised into the traditional MEA ecosystem categories using a treemap (Fig.5). The treemap represents the number ...
