  1. The #oilpipeline was providing partial bypass for the blocked-off #StraitofHormuz in the #PersianGulf, through the #RedSea. If the Houthis block the Bab al-Mandeb strait, the marine traffic between the #Meditteranean sea and the #IndianOcean through the #SuezCanal and #RedSea would be cutoff.

    With this, Iran now controls a second marine choke point through their proxy. And with the oil bypass pipeline shutdown, expect the #CrudeOil prices to rise further.

    “🔍 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…”

  7. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🦴 Chinese scientists piloting the submersible Fendouzhe in the southeast #IndianOcean found fossil sites spanning 1,200 km at depths up to 7,000 m.

    The #bones belong mostly to beaked #whales, with the oldest dating back 5.3 million years. Living #jellyfish, brittle stars, and bone-boring #worms still call these ancient carcasses home, allowing whale fall to serve as a #deepsea #ecosystem.

    “KEY POINTS:
    • Historical observations of subsurface Indian Ocean temperature are recovered from expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th century
    • Indian Ocean warming over the 20th century extends to 750 m depth
    • Pattern of temperature change is consistent with surface warming and a poleward shift of the gyre over the last half of the 20th century..."

  9. Nach langer Zeit hatten wir endlich das Glück einen Wahlfisch zu sehen.

    Außer der Schwanzflosse hat er sich aber nicht blicken lassen.

  10. Kamele gibt es hier im Oman ja wie Sand am Meer. Somit sollte es einen nicht überaschen das es hier auch Kamele am Strand / im Meer beim baden gibt.
