The #geologists who claim that the Sahara was formed over a million years ago are simply ignorant. There are hundreds of wall carvings inside the desert showing human hunting and agricultural activities before the Sahara turned into a desert.
There are also a lot of deep rain water marks on the surface of some well known pyramids clearly indicating that there was heavy rainfall even after the pyramids were built.
What about the Atacama Desert? Check the Google map of the region! #deserts

🌍🚫 Oh no, the "rare" alignment of three norths is ending! Quick, panic-buy your #compass before they become obsolete for another millennium. #Geologists everywhere must be devastated that their nearly imperceptible grid party is over. 🤷♂️🎉

#Geologists Uncover Mysterious Hidden #SubductionZone Beneath #Pacific, Offering A Glimpse into Earth's Ancient Interior
This discovery reveals a hidden chapter of Earth’s history that reshapes our understanding of the planet’s inner workings. This hidden tectonic boundary, buried over 250 million years ago, challenges prevailing theories about Earth’s interior structure and offers insights into how the planet’s surface has evolved over millennia.

Is Africa Splitting in Two? Really? Here's the Scoop
In the heart of East Africa, a #seismic #event is unfolding that could forever alter the #continent's #geographical #landscape. The notion of Africa splitting has the attention #scientists and #geologists worldwide, as the Great #Rift #Valley #stretches and tears at the #Earth's #crust.This dramatic #phenomenon is not the plot of a #science #fiction novel but a real and ongoing #process that may lead to the birth of a new #ocean reshaping Africa's boundaries over millions of years.

[the adverts on the page make for a LOT of ‘clutter’, but there is some good info here]
“In the realm of geology and engineering geology, seismic reflection is a crucial method for understanding the Earth’s subsurface, unlocking a treasure trove of geological information. This comprehensive guide will take you on a journey through the world of seismic reflection, explaining what it is, how it’s performed, its various applications, and the science behind it…”

Another pic from the the #Tresviso caving expedition to the #picosdeeuropa. This was a very unique #speleothem, which (I think) was formed when a stalactite grew long enough to reach a pool of water, growing outwards in all directions into a ball, then the pool of water draining in a later stage of cave development. Do any of my fellow #geologists know what this is called? We affectionately named this chamber 'monkeyfist chamber' in relation to the similar looking climbing knot. (hand for scale)

[although my postgrad was in geology and I am licensed in the field, it has been a number of years since I worked directly in a geologic discipline; that said, I very much like to try and keep up with ‘things geology’…]
