The discovery, outside our Solar System, of giant planets similar to Jupiter but much closer to their star, posed a serious puzzle for astronomers, because giant planets of that kind cannot form in such zones. Planets form in a disc of gas and dust that surrounds the young star.在我们的...
Gold has both economic and cultural significance to human societies but, as Liang Zhang and David Groves explain, we owe its presence in the Earth’s crust to repeating cycles of plate tectonics. Liang Zhang &David I. Groves Research Briefing|07 November 2024 ...
THE product of the rate of increase of temperature with depth in the earth's crust into the thermal conductivity of the surface rocks gives the rate of loss of heat from the interior. When allowance is made for the residual effects of the original heat, this gives a most important datum ...

then it must be contracting. As the crust is already cool it has ceased to contract and thus the interior shrinks away from it and it must fold up in order still to rest upon the shrinking interior. The cooling of the earth is so slow that the folding under ordinary conditions disturbs ...
how much pressure may be put upon water its volume is little decreased and its density little changed. So it happens that substances which readily sink in the upper part of the sea sink to the bottom no matter how deep the water may be, as the bottom is so little denser than the top...
