  1. A person who has been punished is not thereby simply less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.

  5. These giant stone spheres on New Zealand's Koekohe Beach aren't alien eggs — they're septarian concretions. Each Moeraki Boulder grew grain by grain as calcite cemented ancient seafloor mud ~60 million years ago, then eroded out of the cliffs as the softer mudstone wore away. The cracked-vein pattern? Shrinkage cracks later filled with calcite. 📷 W. Bulach, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons #geology #earthscience

  8. 🧊 ICYMI: When an #iceberg splits apart, giant slabs of blue #ice collapse into the #sea, triggering fractures that send #waves across the surrounding #water.

    Recorded at early light in #Ilulissat, #Greenland, Richard Sidey captured the deep creaks and rumbles of a #calving #glacier adjusting its balance.

  12. Dallol, Ethiopia looks like another planet — but it is pure geology. In the Danakil Depression (~125 m below sea level), basaltic magma intruding into Miocene salt beds drives hyper-acidic brine springs with pH below zero. Iron oxidation paints the salt neon green, yellow and red — no microbes needed, just chemistry. Photo: A.Savin (Free Art License) via Wikimedia Commons #geology #earthscience

  13. Antelope Canyon, Arizona — a slot canyon carved through ~190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone by desert flash floods. Over millennia, water and wind sculpted flowing, wave-like walls; at midday, sunbeams pierce the narrow slots, lighting the stone in glowing orange hues.
