Focusing on the hydrosphere, it encompasses all of Earth’s water, which is crucial for life. This sphere includes surface water, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans; groundwater that saturates the soil and rock beneath our feet; ice and snow found in polar regions and mountain peaks; and w...
Earth’s geology is fascinating, in fact, there are numerous natural formations that can easily be misinterpreted for man-made objects. The pyramid-like formations could, in fact, be rocky peaks known as ‘nunatak,’ which are basically protrusions through ice or glacial crust of the mountain ...
"The surface of the earth is made of tectonic plates, which are about 100 kilometers thick, they move around together. So when they collide or move apart, they form earthquakes as the pressure gathers," explains seismologist Carlo Doglioni, President of Italy's National Institut...
