Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for scientists. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.
From time to time, when Earth's tectonic plates shift, the planet emits a long, slow belch of carbon dioxide. In a new modeling study published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, R. Dietmar ...
Magnetic signatures hidden inside rocks tell us a lot about Earth's magnetic field and the way continents and tectonic plates have shifted across millennia – but for some periods, the geological ...
Scientists have traditionally focused on volcanic arcs as the main natural source of atmospheric carbon dioxide. These form ...
MELBOURNE, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanic eruptions, may have triggered major climate transitions between ancient ice ages and warm periods, ...
New Haven, Conn. — Earth’s Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for scientists. During earlier and later time periods, tectonic ...
