Scientists determine Mars’ crust is similar to HEAVY ARMOR in some areas

June 29, 2023 - crust, on average, is much thicker than that of the Earth or the moon," said Doyeon Kim, the lead study author. He added that lesser planetary bodies in the solar system tend to have a thicker crust than the bigger bodies.

The Earth's crust has an average thickness range of between 13 and 17 miles. Meanwhile, the moon's crust has a thickness ranging between 21 and 27 miles based on the seismometers of the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s ...

Researchers baffled by mysterious melting of Earth’s crust beneath western North America

May 02, 2021 - crust.)

Though the Laramie Range did not contain the same igneous rocks found in the belt, the overlap in time led Chapman and his colleagues to suspect that the tectonic processes that created the mountain ranges also contributed to the melting of Earth's crust beneath the belt.

With this in mind, the researchers formulated several working hypothesis about what caused the rocks to melt. One they came up with was that water had seeped into the inner ...

Mars’ “missing” water has been locked up in the planet’s crust, study finds

March 21, 2021 - crust.

Of particular interest to the researchers was the ratio of deuterium to regular hydrogen. As it turned out, hydrogen has multiple forms – the most abundant one on Earth only has a proton within its atomic nucleus while rare deuterium contains a neutron in addition to a proton.

Also called "heavy hydrogen," deuterium is less likely to escape into space than regular hydrogen due to its density. And if it did escape, Mars' upper atmosphere would contain a larger ...

Mantle mystery: Geologists don’t know what to make of two continent-sized mountains found beneath the Earth’s crust

July 29, 2019 - crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Many researchers believe that as the Earth cooled millions of years ago, the denser materials started to sink, like iron and nickel, and lighter materials remained on the surface, like basalt and granite.

The uppermost layer of the Earth, where life exists, is the crust. It is about five miles thick under the oceans and 25 miles thick under the continents. The temperature of the crust can range ...

New theory suggests how magnetars, a type of neutron star, can crack themselves open and send gamma-ray flares to Earth

September 22, 2020 -

Researchers from the University of Valencia and the University of Alicante in Spain came up with equations of a magnetar's magnetic field. They found that magnetic field instabilities, though they eventually correct themselves, can cause a magnetar's crust to crack open, sending waves of energy into space.

"Our results show that for typical magnetar field strengths...the instability is likely to break a large fraction of the crust down to the inner ...

New theory suggests that exploding magnetars bombarded Earth with gamma ray flares

September 17, 2020 - crust to briefly crack open and emit inordinate levels of gamma rays.

They published their findings in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.Starquakes caused intense gamma ray bursts

The researchers looked into magnetic field instabilities to explain the three outlier gamma ray bursts. They relied on equations governing the twisted magnetic fields around magnetars. While these are usually stable, there's a branch of equations in ...

Researchers find that the Earth’s mantle is “more dynamic” than previously believed

November 08, 2019 -

The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of the planet. It ends at a depth of 621 miles (1,000 km).

Researchers from the University College London (UCL) and the University of Lisbon (Lisbon) studied this deeper sub-layer. The lower mantle moves and distorts at subduction zones, geologic areas where large pieces of oceanic crust sink through the layers.

“Traditionally, it's been thought that the flow of rock in Earth's lower ...

The Earth’s mantle is a “geochemically diverse mosaic,” reveals team of geologists

November 11, 2019 - crust.

While an analysis of the lava would show that it is similar to others found on Earth, what happens to crustal rock after its life cycle is something different. Old oceanic crust moves away from mid-oceanic ridges until it reaches a continent, where it goes under it and back into the mantle.

New evidence helps astronomers determine when life could have existed on Mars

September 02, 2018 - crust way ahead of the Earth. A solid crust is a prerequisite for housing oceans of liquid water.

In turn, liquid water is a requirement for the development of life on a planet. If there is at least one large ocean, the chances of life grows even more.

New evidence helps astronomers determine when life might have existed on Mars

August 28, 2018 -

A recent study by researchers from the Centre for Star and Planet Formation at the University of Copenhagen’s Natural History Museum, contends that around 20 million years after the formation of our solar system, the liquid magma ocean surface of Mars crystallized very rapidly, after which a solid crust emerged which may have housed oceans, water and life.

The study was conducted by analyzing the extremely rare “Black Beauty” Mars meteorite, and significantly ...

Liquid water on Pluto? Gases trapped in a layer of ice could be what keeps an underground ocean from freezing, report researchers

November 30, 2019 -

Images taken by NASA's New Horizons probe showed the Sputnik Planitia region near the dwarf planet's equator back in 2015. Hints of an underground ocean come from readings that showed mountain ranges, glaciers, icy volcanoes and fissures on Pluto's surface, suggesting that something is ripping its crust apart, such as a freezing ocean underneath.

However, Pluto's crust in this region is thinner in some areas than others, which scientists believe would ...

Study: New radioactivity model indicates lost continents of early Earth, challenging current models

March 12, 2020 -

Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have published two studies that use models of rock radioactivity over billions of years. The new model shows that the Earth's continental crust may have been thicker, much earlier than current models suggest. This means that early continents could have formed as far back as four billion years ago.

“We use this model to understand the evolving processes from early Earth to the present, and suggest that the survival ...

Sermon 56: Mike Adams discusses the biblical COSMIC IMPACTS prophesied to reset Earth

October 11, 2024 - crust and release its energy deep inside to produce shock waves that could cause a mighty earthquake and trigger the crust to break up in places far from the impact site.

"The enormous amount of heat or thermal energy released by a deep impact inside the planet would bring damaging consequences. It would superheat Earth's hot, molten core and cause the crust above it to melt," Adams said. "The magma outflows of hot lava surging out of volcanoes ...

Great Salt Lake drying up amid extreme drought

Scientists thought they knew volcanoes – until they looked under Bermuda

November 01, 2019 -

Experts know of two methods of volcanic formation. One of the processes takes place when tectonic plates crash together. The other process involves "mantle plumes." When the hot rocks in the core-mantle boundary rises to the crust, they create a hot spot.

Cornell University (Cornell) researchers and their colleagues from other universities recently discovered a third way of volcanic formation. Crystals, molten rock, and water in the mantle's transition zone ...

Megadrought brings Great Salt Lake water levels to all-time low… with no end in sight

August 03, 2021 - crust will last and how dangerous the arsenic could be.

The exposed lakebed also means that people venture onto the crust, including off-road vehicles that could damage the area further.

Great Salt Lake coordinator Laura Vernon said: "The more continued drought we have, the more of the salt crust will be weathered and more dust will become airborne because there's less of that protective crust layer."

New study shows evidence that ancient Mars could have supported underground microbial life

December 13, 2018 - crust to match the levels found in Earth's SLiMEs.

These findings are not direct proof that alien life did exist on Mars. However, if alien microorganisms did live underground, they would have plenty of hydrogen food for a very long time.

The researchers recommended that future studies should consider the areas where the ancient Martian subsurface can be accessed. (Related: New evidence helps astronomers determine when life might have existed on Mars.)Radioactive ...

Unrefined pumpkin seed oil increases antioxidant properties of bakery products

March 08, 2018 - crust. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity increased as the baking temperature decreased. This effect was also observed in the antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts of crust and crumb in products with rice bran oil and sunflower oil as determined through chemiluminescence. On the other hand, the antioxidant activity of aqueous extracts in baked goods with pumpkin seed oil was found to be higher in the crust than in the crumb.
