Pressure caused by the weight of the air. At sea level it has an average value of one atmosphere and gradually decreases as the altitude increases. Did You Know?The atmosphere that blankets the Earth gently presses down on us, and the subtle variations in thisatmospheric pressuregreatly affect...

The warm, light air at the equator rises and spreads northward and southward, and the cool dense air at the poles sinks and spreads toward the equator. As a result, two convection cells are formed. Meanwhile, the slow rotation of the earth toward the east causes the air to be deflected...
The Earth’s core begins about 3000 km below the surface and much of what we know about it comes from looking at seismic waves from earthquakes that have travelled through the centre of the Earth. The core’s properties have also been studied by doing computer simulations and experiments that...

The Coma cluster contains more than a thousand confirmed galaxy members and is at a distance of roughly 0.1 Gpc from Earth. D100 is a spiral galaxy at approximately 240 kpc from the cluster centre that shows a 60-kpc-long and 1.5-kpc-wide tail (long bright-red plume, pictured) that was...
It is possible to trace the spatial redistribution of the electron density in ions even at the level of hundredths parts of an electron per cubic angstrom. This opens a new perspective to experimentally characterise mineral processes in the Earth’s mantle. The use of diamond anvil cells with ...
