Gooey rocks deep within the San Andreas fault generate silent earthquakes, study finds
Seismologists have been detecting deep, silent earthquakes along the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas fault for years. These tremors occur well below the point where most seismic activity in California is recorded, leaving geologists puzzled about why they happen. Researchers from the University of Southern California and the China Earthquake Administration attempted to find out what’s […]

Mineral samples reveal a previously unknown loss of life GREATER than the mass extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago
Despite being constantly portrayed as such in popular media, not all extinction events involve the apocalyptic and instantaneous dying off of complex creatures such as the dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts – some of them are more gradual and happen over longer periods of time and deal with creatures that are on the microscopic scale. […]

A land before time: Continents found deep underground could have been formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago
Primitive continents as old as Earth may be lurking beneath the surface. Formed just shortly after the Big Bang, these continents stood the test of time and survived cataclysmic impacts such as the collision that created the Moon billions of years ago. Researchers from the University of California at Davis and the University of California at […]

Major earthquake along the San Andreas fault could occur following cluster of new tremors at the Salton Sea
Authorities are closely monitoring a swarm of small earthquakes underneath the Salton Sea in southern California. The swarm first occurred on Monday morning at 6:33 a.m., August 10. Since then, more than 100 small earthquakes have already been recorded, with the biggest one occurring also on Monday at 8:56 a.m. The epicenter of the swarm was located eight miles […]

Extraterrestrial impact may have caused abrupt climate change 12,800 years ago, research suggests
Sediment cores taken from White Pond in South Carolina show that an extraterrestrial collision may have triggered an abrupt change in the Earth’s climate 12,800 years ago, said archaeologist Christopher Moore of the University of South Carolina. About 14,500 years ago, Earth’s climate began to shift from glacial to interglacial, characterized by warmer temperatures. However, partway through this […]

Study: Plate tectonics that shifted continents across Earth started at least 2.5 billion years ago
Plate tectonics is the widely accepted theory that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into several pieces, known as plates. These plates slowly glide across the Earth’s mantle, the rocky inner layer above the planet’s core. This movement causes both earthquakes and the movement of continents across the surface of the Earth. Scientists have […]

A dead supercontinent is partly responsible for the ocean sinking into the Earth’s mantle, explain researchers
Every day, hundreds of millions of gallons of water drain from the oceans into the Earth’s mantle, and geologists think that a dead supercontinent may be to blame. Dubbed the “deep water cycle” or the “geologic water cycle,” this phenomenon occurs when water gets soaked up by minerals within the earth’s mantle through a process called subduction. As the […]

Hawaiian volcanic activity could become the catalyst that unleashes an extinction level event in the Cascadian Subduction Zone
I have had a number of conservations with a geologist friend who has been threatened and warned to be quiet. In fact, most geologists, at the university level, have been threatened in one way or another about maintaining their silence on the Cascadian Subduction Zone (CSZ). As Steve Quayle has pointed out (ie Branson GEN […]

Researchers identify CRUCIAL 10- to 15-second moment that can signal a magnitude 7 megaquake
A pair of researchers may have found a way to predict how strong an earthquake will be. Diego Melgar from the University of Oregon and Gavin Hayes from the National Earthquake Information Center of the US Geological Survey (USGS) analyzed and compared information between various databases and GPS-gathered intel. Through this, they pinpointed a specific moment during […]

Researchers find that the Earth’s mantle is “more dynamic” than previously believed
The medial zone of the Earth’s three-layered interior, the mantle is itself divided into upper and lower parts. Most experts believe that the lower mantle is dormant, but a recent European study found greater signs of dynamic activity in the region. The lower mantle starts 410 miles (660 km) beneath the crust of the planet. […]
