“🔍 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 evolve…”

“Earth’s outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. It’s 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 Earth’s crust…”

Экипаж иранского вспомогательного корабля Bushehr решил в полном составе 208 человек сдаться властям Шри-Ланки.

Это произошло после потопления иранского фрегата американской подводной лодкой недалеко от берегов острова.

Власти Шри-Ланки проводили консультации не только с капитаном и экипажем корабля, но и с иранским посольством.

В итоге шри-ланкийцы все же решили принять сдачу иранцев и заявили, что будут действовать на основе норм международного права.

Heard a lot about recent events in #Yemen, but not much about #Socotra? We've got you covered with our new (free) supplement: "Who controls Socotra after UAE pullout?"

New #Yemen control map report for subscribers brings our coverage up to the present, with #SouthYemen separatists having badly lost their gambit for #independence. #Houthis and #AlQaeda are still as present as ever though.

Die spektakuläre #WildCoast am #EasternCape war dieses Mal wirklich wild. Das hier sind die letzten Bilder (aufgenommen am Donnerstagvormittag) vor einem Unwetter mit massivem „disruptive Rainfall“ bis in die Nacht hinein. In der ganzen Region gab es Erdrutsche und extreme Sturzfluten. Eine schlaflose Nacht für uns, aber ein Desaster für viele in den Dörfern und Städten an der Ostküste, die ihr Hab und Gut verloren haben 💔

Some spinner dolphins, just for the love of them. Not sure Mastodon will work for me, but happy to find others working on marine conservation science or any of the hashtags:
