H/T @Seabed 2030
βπ For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time.
Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
During a research expedition in the Indian Ocean, scientists had just deployed a suite of instruments when a series of earthquakes triggered a seafloor spreading event, allowing them to observe the process as it unfolded.
The findings offer rare new insights into how new oceanic crust forms and how the seafloor continues to evolveβ¦β

βEarthβs outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. Itβs broken into giant chunks called tectonic plates that pull apart, push against or slide past one another, creating grand geologic features.
Underwater mountain ranges, or mid-ocean ridges, for instance, generally take shape where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Magma can then bubble up in between, solidifying and turning into new oceanic crust as part of a process called seafloor spreading. Although the phenomenon has created entire ocean basins, it remains quite mysterious because it happens so deep in the water.
Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this dynamic activity happening in real time. They describe their findings - and their stroke of luck - in a study [link above], shedding light on a mechanism that made roughly two-thirds of Earthβs crustβ¦β

Thanks @hairylarry.
Yes, interesting stuff. They say it is based on the '#Maloya' (a powerful percussion-based and African-rooted style) and '#SΓ©gaLontan' (accordion-based Reunionese 'chanson') traditions from #LaReunion and #IndianOcean.

BIG political #geography news from yesterday: #UK says it will give #ChagosIslands to #Mauritius, which has claimed them for decades and recently had vindication from intl courts and UN. No date yet - pending treaty. https://bbc.com/news/articles/c98ynejg4l5o
