Evidence of North American and European Tectonic Plates Pulling Apart Seen In Iceland
Tourists look like toys in these bird’s eye view photos which show an impressive split landscape where two lands meet. The dramatic terrain – the join between two tectonic plates – is popular with tourists who can explore the natural wonder on land and underwater. The splits in the land, which has many faults, valleys, volcanoes and hot springs, are … Continue reading
By 2100 it May Become Too Hot for Humans to Survive in South Asia
By the end of this century, temperatures in South Asia — a region where about one-fifth of the world’s population lives — could become too hot and humid for people to survive, according to a new study. Climate change in Pakistan, Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka could be so severe by the late 21st century that temperatures and humidity … Continue reading
Strange Ocean Anomaly: Tide Dramatically Recedes on South American Atlantic Coast While Huge Waves Hit Pacific Side
This extremely strange and puzzling event took place on August 11, 2017 and there was also a similar event just a couple of days later on August 13, 2017. While it’s not unusual for tides to go out this was no normal case of just tides heading out. This was a massive receding of one ocean’s coast (Atlantic ocean) while … Continue reading
Dead North Atlantic Right Whale Sighted off Cape Cod, 13 So Far This Summer
Seen in the main headline image: © M. Zani/New England Aquarium The dead whale has been identified as a reproductive female named Couplet, pictured here in 2003 with one of her calves. Another dead North Atlantic right whale has been spotted off Massachusetts, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths in North America this summer to at least 13. The … Continue reading
The PATH OF TOTALITY, Solar Eclipse Experience Described
WHY GO TO THE PATH OF TOTALITY? On Aug. 21, 2017, every square inch of the USA will experience a solar eclipse. In most places, the eclipse will be partial–that is, the Moon will cross the sun off-center leaving a crescent shaped portion of the solar disk exposed. Is it really worth the trip to the path of totality when … Continue reading
6.8 Magnitude Earthquake – North of Ascension Island

Scientist Offers New Explanation on One of the Strangest Occurrences in Nature—Ball Lightning
Explanations for how ball lightning is formed are even more diverse than its physical characteristics. Just a sampling of the theories out there suggest the ball is a cloud of hot silicon particles, a natural nuclear reaction, a lightning-induced epileptic hallucination, a miniature black hole, an aggregate of cellulose and other natural polymers, and a microwave-filled bubble of plasma. Every … Continue reading
Earth’s Largest Volcanic Region (91 Volcanoes) Lies Hidden Two Kilometers Below Antarctic Ice Sheet
A team of scientists unearthed a volcanic region previously hidden under ice sheets, with the geologist who led the team warning of destabilising consequences. Edinburgh University researchers uncovered almost 100 volcanoes – with the highest almost as tall as Switzerland’s 3,970-metre Eiger. Geologists think the region, which sits two kilometres below ice in west Antarctica, will dwarf east Africa’s volcanic … Continue reading
Ground Deformation Present Around Yellowstone Supervolcano; Over 1500 Quakes this Summer
Since the swarm began on June 12, there have been over 1,562 earthquakes. The quakes release uplift-causing pressure, allowing ground to sink back down. Still, experts say the risk of an eruption remains low, with alert level at normal. As small earthquakes continue to rumble around the Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming, scientists have revealed new evidence of the changes going … Continue reading
Earth’s Volcanoes Re-Awakening Globally, Dire Affects to Come
With the massive eruption at Bogoslov Volcano in the Aleutian chain near Alaska, air travel was restricted and still remains “hazardous”. Something similar happened in 2010 when air travel was restricted over Europe and an Icelandic volcano erupted. Now Steam vents are opening through the Greenland ice sheet and Katla is on yellow elevated warning with over 500 small quakes … Continue reading
