Unexpected And Unexplained Structures Found Deep Below The Pacific Ocean
There are zones where the seismic waves move in different ways, suggesting structures that are colder or have a different composition than the surrounding molten rock.
It is unclear what these structures are. If they were anywhere else, they could be portions of #tectonicplates that have sunk in a #subductionzone. But the Pacific is one large plate, so there should be no subduction material under it. iflscience.com/unexpected-and-

Scientists have discovered "sunken worlds" deep within Earth's mantle using a new seismographic imaging method. These blobs resemble ancient crust but are found in unexpected locations, posing a mystery to researchers. The new method offers a clearer image of Earth's interior, revealing potential subducted slabs in places with no known tectonic activity.

Researchers Discover Five New #HydrothermalVents in Pacific Ocean sci.news/othersciences/geoscie

"#Hydrothermal vents are rich in chemicals that supply energy to #animal life, fueling rich and productive #ecosystems. The new sites... are located on the #EastPacificRise near 10°N latitude, a part of the globe-spanning mid-ocean ridge #volcanic mountain chain, where two #TectonicPlates are splitting apart at a rate of about 11 cm per year."

Plenty of #Eclipse conspiracy theories around. Mine is... What if #PolarIce was "glue" holding Earth's #TectonicPlates together? Now, the climate-weakend "glue" allows #GraviticForce of #Lunar / #Solar alignment to pull the planet apart! Or... #Vampires will emerge during #Totality, taking advantage of our assembled masses – craned necks exposed as we focus all attention skyward.

A composite image of two book photos, arranged side-by-side. On the left: THE HORROR WRITERS OF AMERICA PRESENT, "UNDER THE FANG," EDITED BY ROBERT R. MCCAMMON. Enter a nightmare realm where vampires rule. Cover text is inside a coffin-shaped outline, filled with red. The title and outline are raised and printed with foil. Above the text-box is a row of shiny black teeth in space, with large bloody curved fangs flanking the coffin. Below is Earth, bleeding from fang wounds on it's surface. On the right: Indulge your taste for fear with these blood-stealing, all-original tales about the master of terror... "DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS," EDITED BY MARTIN H. GREENBERG. A night scene in black and white features a bust portrait of Dracula beneath a full moon. A lonely gothic mansion is visible through thin clouds in the distance over his right shoulder. A a modern city skyline can be seen just beyond the horizon to his left.

Trail of #crabs leads scientists to remarkable underwater discovery
Scientists have discovered a never-before-seen hydrothermal vent teeming with life off the Galápagos Islands by following a long trail of squat #lobsters. It is located in the #Galapagos Spreading Center (GSC), a divergent boundary between the Cocos and Nazca #tectonicplates roughly 250 miles (400 kilometers) north of the Galápagos Islands. livescience.com/animals/trail-

Australia has more native #bird species than almost anywhere else. What led to this explosion of diversity? theconversation.com/australia-

"As #Australia pushed north, the shifting #TectonicPlates threw up islands that acted as stepping stones to Asia. These allowed Australian #songbirds to head out into the wider world, where they did exceptionally well. In fact, researchers think all the world’s 5,000 or #songbird species came from Australia... The question is, why was this traffic one way?"

How #talitrids advanced from sea to mountain: The legend of a terrestrial crustacean
phys.org/news/2023-06-talitrid

Marine-montane transitions coupled with gill and genetic convergence in extant crustacean science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv

"talitrids originated in the #sea and independently colonized mountain habitats at least four different times during the #Oligocene and #Miocene periods. The movement of #TectonicPlates and the formation of #volcanic #islands played a significant role in this transition"
