s oceans. By comparison, we havephotographed 99% of the moon’ssurface. There are likely entire species in the darkest depths of the sea that scientists haven’t even discovered yet. Robots are helping explorers traverse these realms of the deep, where water pressure is far too high for ...
Volcanism on Earth's Seafloor and Venus The surface of Venus, obscured by dense cloud cover, is similar in many ways to the seafloor that lies hidden beneath the deep waters of Earth's oceans. Although both are difficult to observe, decades of research indicate that each surfa... EB Gros...
Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, may also have subsurface water. As our need for water outweighs the Earth's supply, scientists wonder if we may one day mine for water on the other planets and moons in our solar system. Water has a lot of unique and amazing properties that make it ...
PIRLS 2021 and PISA 2022 are the first international large-scale surveys that assessed students worldwide after the COVID-19 pandemic school closures. As expected, they reveal devastating learning losses for students of most countries and regions althoug
energy when they became more widespread19; the EU Joint Research Centre estimates it could become just twice as expensive as wind and solar within the next six years20. However, this is far from a foregone conclusion given that no commercial-scale wave energy farms are yet ...
Global Surveyor spacecraft show what looked like gullies carved out by rivers of water on the surface of the planet. According toNASA, the water is probably 300 to 1,300 feet (100 to 400 meters) below the surface. Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, may also have subsurface water. As our...
"On other icy worlds, if they have liquid water oceans, [serpentinization] should be inevitable because these bodies are massive mixtures of water and rock," he said. "Maybe the methane we see in Titan's atmosphere formed when hydrogen from serpentinization combined with deep carbon in a hydro...
Speaking of water, this was the decade it became clear thelife-supporting liquid isnot just on Enceladus, but elsewhere in the solar system and beyond. It's hidden in the subsurface oceans of Jupiter's moons Europa and Ganymede, in the red slopes of Mars and even in theatmosphere...
In view of the discovery of hydrothermal vents, it may be possible that life exists on Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter, which scientists believe has a water ocean beneath its icy crust. Tubeworms around a hydrothermal vent Photo courtesy NOAA/U.S. Dept. of Commerce Life has been found...
Europa has fascinated scientists for decades due to its potential to harbor life. Beneath its thick crust of ice, the moon is believed to contain a vast ocean of liquid water — possibly twice the volume of all of Earth's oceans combined. This subsurface ocean, warmed by tidal forces, coul...
