The truth about “clean” electric vehicles: Here’s what tech giants like Tesla are not telling you
Battery-powered cars, or electric vehicles, are touted as the future of automobiles with its purportedly clean and green energy usage. The cars emerged as the conversation on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions worldwide snowballed in recent years, and many experts are encouraging the use of renewable energy as a substitute for fossil fuel. Indeed, several governments and […]

Deadly Yellowstone earthquake revisited – aftershocks still felt today
On the night of August 17, 1959, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck west of Yellowstone National Park. Campers fled in horror while geologists stationed in the area scrambled to document the phenomenon. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) was keen on monitoring the Yellowstone Volcano, a supervolcano that could wreak untold destruction in the event of an eruption. Nobody anticipated the […]

Scientists discovered volcanic eruptions, not asteroid impact, triggered climate change 14,500 years ago
Recent findings published in the journal Science Advances refute the claim that the Younger Dryas — a period of abrupt cooling in the Northern Hemisphere — was caused by a meteorite impact. Instead, the study shows that debris from intense volcanic eruptions in the Northern Hemisphere blanketed the atmosphere, deflecting sunlight and cooling Earth. The researchers were reluctant to accept their […]

Researchers discovered a new ocean current feeding one of the largest waterfalls in the world
A study published in the journal Nature Communications found that a little-known ocean current is feeding water into the North Atlantic Ocean’s Faroe Bank Channel Overflow – one of the largest “waterfalls” in the world. This discovery by an international team of researchers sheds new light on the ocean circulations in the Nordic seas, where dense overflow waters play […]

Study: Benign volcanoes may be more explosive than previously thought
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications found that benign volcanoes that produce basaltic lava flows hide highly explosive magma components. Many volcanoes do not cause life-threatening eruptions even though they release a steady stream of lava. For example, volcanoes in Iceland, Hawaii and the Galapagos Islands consistently emit lava comprised of molten basaltic rock. […]

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 […]

Scientists to investigate mysterious underwater sinkhole off Florida coast
Scientists are gearing up for an expedition deep off Florida’s gulf coast in August. The scientists, with help from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), are looking to probe the Green Banana — a mysterious blue hole that begins 155 feet below the ocean’s surface. Blue holes are underwater sinkholes that form when rainwater dissolves a hole through limestone rock. They are thought to […]

“Snowball Earth” from eons ago may have been caused by a rapid decrease in incoming sunlight, says study
There are at least two instances in which the Earth was completely smothered by ice. This icy world, often called Snowball Earth, is believed to have occurred around 700 million years ago. It was characterized by the global expansion of ice that makes Earth look like a snowball from outer space. Its exact cause remains unknown, although experts posit […]
