  1. Gros Morne: Walk on the Mantle

    At Gros Morne National Park, you can walk on the Earth's mantle. This UNESCO site in Newfoundland features the Tablelands, a massive slab of rust-coloured peridotite rock forced up from deep within the planet. This barren landscape, where few plants survive, is a visible lesson in plate tectonics and stands in stark contrast to the park's lush, green fjords. 🇨🇦

  2. 🦖☄️ Paleontologist Michael Benton and meteoriticist Monica Grady reconstruct the final day of the #Cretaceous in real-time – from the silent #asteroid visible as a #star, to the fireball and incineration, to mega-tsunamis, global #wildfires, acid #rain, and a decade-long #winter that snuffed out three-quarters of #Earth’s species.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: ⛰️🪓 After 70 years of #construction of the #CrazyHorse #Memorial in #SouthDakota, the Oglala #Lakota warrior's face, at a towering 26.5 m (87 ft), is complete.

    Conceived by Chief Henry Standing Bear as a #NativeAmerican tribute, the project has drawn #Indigenous criticism for shifting focus to the sculptor's family and the #ethics of #carving natural #rock.

  8. Fraser River, British Columbia. The major landforms are: Glacial Silt Terraces (layered cliffs dominant in the upper-middle), The Silt-Laden Water (pale, opaque greenish-brown cast), Dynamic Sandbars sand/gravel bars visible in the bend and Sagebrush Scrub: The silvery-green scrub filling the foreground. #canada #nature #geography #photography #NotMyPersoalPhoto #geology

  14. 🪨🔥 #Earth’s inner core reaches about 5,500°C, roughly as hot as the surface of the #sun.

    Scientists from UC #SantaCruz and Sun Yat-sen University calculated this using diamond anvil cells and shock-wave experiments that simulate the extreme pressures deep underground. The outer core’s liquid #iron also generates #Earth’s magnetic field, which protects all #life from #solar #radiation.
