The growth of continental crust through melt extraction from the mantle is a critical component of the chemical evolution of the Earth and the development of plate tectonics. However, the mechanisms involved remain debated. Here, we conduct petrological and geochemical analyses on a large (up to ...
Structure Titan’s atmosphere is similar toEarth’sboth in the predominance of nitrogen gas and in surface pressure, which is about 1.5 bars, or 50 percent higher than sea-level pressure on Earth. Titan’s atmosphere is much colder, however, having atemperatureat the surface of 94 K (−...
Irina is the first among the six ships which would be constructed by the Chinese Jiangsu Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group. These new vessels have unique design elements to decrease the consumption of fuel, such as propellers with a large diameter and a system that generates air bubbles along the ...
The synthesis of carbon onions in the laboratory by various methods is common; however, naturally occurring carbon onions have only been found in a few geological samples on Earth. This study used high-resolution transmission electron microscopy to identify natural carbon onions in seven intrusion-aff...
: Website article on Geology.com. Lonsdaleite Small amounts of lonsdaleite are reported to be present in the diamond-bearing rocks of the Popigai crater. Lonsdaleite is a rare carbon mineral with a hexagonal crystal structure that has been associated with diamonds in meteorites and at impact ...

especially during gypsum and/or algal bloom events, corresponds to increased hospitalizations locally [12]. Thus, the sulfur cycle in the Salton Sea is a crucial process that not only contributes to this ecosystem’s dynamic structure and function but impacts public health in the region....
What is the diameter of a viroid in micrometers? What is the curve, which has shortest length between two points? Which of the following evolutionary trends characterize primates? a. increase in brain size. b. change in overall skeletal structure. c. steroscopic vision. d. grasping hand with...
What deep space telescope is located the farthest from Earth? Is Saturn the biggest or smallest planet? What is the fifth largest planet? What is the biggest known structure in the universe? How big are Kuiper belt objects? What is the largest asteroid ever found? What was the first object...
The physical and chemical characteristics of dust provide information on the geological processes responsible for their formation. Early terrestrial work suggested glacial grinding to be the only natural process that efficiently converted sand-sized (0.06–2 mm diameter) quartz particles into a silt-...
