Aim It is well known that the distribution of species diversity is spatially heterogeneous, but understanding the factors contributing to this heterogeneity and to the formation of biodiversity hotspots remains a challenge. Here, we seek to improve our understanding of how historical, ecological and ...
said: “This upwelling helps to explain how the sea ice might melt. But as sea ice melts this leads to a freshening of the surface water, which should in turn put a stop to the mixing. So, another process must be happening for the polynya to persist. There...
Judging from the amount of coal found in the world, the earth before the Flood supported about eight to ten times more plants and trees than today. The Flood uprooted the vegetation and formed vast floating log mats similar to those found on Spirit Lake, north of Mount St. Helens, ...

“We don’t know where to put this planet in all the formation theories we have right now, because it’s an outlier of all of them,” adds co-lead author Francisco Pozuelos, a senior researcher at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucia, in Spain. “We cannot...
Just as pressure systems here on Earth produce atmospheric winds and the intensity of the sun’s corona produces a solar wind of charged particles in the form of plasma, galactic activity in the form of star formation also produces a wind of gas and dust that blows out from its center. ...
The aim of this paper is to test the geological causes of problematic subsidence patterns at the margins of ocean basins. The established rift paradigm explains the formation of ocean basins by stretching, thinning and breakup of continental plate or lithosphere. As the crust thins, it subsides ...
Einsteinianrelativity, as it further clarifies the relative formation of every phenomenon ever to have been.Consequently, our Earth isn't the only ecology governed by survival of the fittest, for our entire cosmosis an astronomical ecosystem determined in full via preservation of the stable itself....
The theory of plate tectonics deals with the dynamics of the earth's outermost layer (also known as the lithosphere). The theory gives a satisfying explanation for the formation of structures like mountains. ridges, volcanos etc. According to the theory, the lithosphere ...
The rock cycle refers to the process by which the soils and the rocks of the Earth are constantly being transformed, by the action of several agents like pressure and temperature. The three types of rocks, namely, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic, are continuously being exposed to these ...
