We employed a terrestrial planet interior structure model to deduce the internal composition of K2-360 b78, assuming spherically symmetric differentiation into core, lower mantle, upper mantle, and crust shells. We utilized equations of state (EoS) specific to each layer’s composition to compute d...
The similarity of all these values can be attributed to the expression of the underlying internal dynamics of the planet in proximity of its surface, which leads to properties that are fractal in space and chaotic in time. Moreover, the fractality of the earthquake distribution can be explained...
researchers would make models of heat-driven convection in the mantle that matched observations of the real mantle pretty well, but didn't mimic the crust. And models of the plate tectonics in the crust could predict real-world observations of how these plates move, but didn't mesh well with...
The finding is more profound than it may seem — but to understandwhy, you first have to understand why the geoid matters in the first place. SEE ALSO:Giant Asteroid Set Earth's Crust in Motion 3 Billion Years Ago The real shape of Earth ...
From the article: "When we consider the thickness of continental crust, or deal with mm-wide minerals under a microscope, we tend to forget the scale on which people outside of geology work and think."Dinosaurs Roamed North America Millions of Years Earlier Than Previously ThoughtUniversity of...
With spectral signatures, it is possible to identify different types of crops, water bodies, soils, and other characteristics of the Earth’s crust. RS has evolved from visible wavelength analog systems based on aerial platforms to digital systems using satellite platforms or unmanned aerial vehicles...
