Jakarta – Researchers at Ohio State University analyzed ice cores from Nevado Huascarán, the world’s highest tropical mountain, located in the central Peruvian Andes. The ice of these mountains reveals important climate data. This study, which is the first to examine ice cores from this mountain peak, provides unprecedented insight into the climate history of … Read more
Jakarta – About two billion years ago, a asteroid fell near present-day Johannesburg the largest crater in the world currently known. Initially, the impact caused a crack in the Earth’s surface 60 miles wide, but the crater became three times wider as its walls collapsed and the rocks beneath began bouncing. Scientists say the impact … Read more
Jakarta – In the twilight of the Cretaceous period, 86 million years ago, volcanic fissures rumbled in what is now South Africa. Below the surface, magma from hundreds of kilometers away surges upward, shattering rocks and minerals and bringing them to the surface in reverse avalanches. Quoted from Live science, On Wednesday (1/17/2024) 1869, a … Read more
Jakarta – An international team of researchers has obtained new geochemical evidence from the oldest rocks found in a remote lake area in northern Canada. These rocks present a different picture of Earth’s early history. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances, scientists say the oldest samples collected contradict previous research that suggested … Read more
Jakarta – In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, starting from the Cretaceous period, an enormous geological superstructure was formed. The formation of this superstructure was triggered by an area of intraplate volcanism larger than England. In a new study, geologists sought to piece together information about how the Melanesian border plateau formed. They concluded … Read more
Jakarta – Scientists have identified geological sites that they believe best reflect the start of the Anthropocene, an era that marked a major step toward changing the official timeline of Earth’s history. The Anthropocene or Anthropocene is the period that began when human activities began to have a global influence on the Earth’s ecosystem. This … Read more
Jakarta – Our planet is the only place in the universe known to harbor life. From microscopic to gigantic in size, this planet is teeming with life. Even though life is everywhere, we are still not sure where exactly it began. Looking at the chemical composition of life, we can assume that early life needed … Read more
Jakarta – In 2016, researchers at a mine in Canada discovered it the oldest swimming pool in the world. The pool of water at a depth of about 3 kilometers is believed to be two billion years old. This discovery “revises” the oldest known water data by at least 500 million years. The previous record … Read more
