    Structural Architecture: The 5 Spheres of Earth
    Earth system scientists traditionally view the planet as a complex, interconnected machine composed of four interacting load-bearing components, or "spheres:"

    1. The #Lithosphere: The Earth's crust, solid rock, shifting tectonic plates, mountains, and ocean floors. It functions as a physical foundation and holds massive, slow-moving reservoirs of carbon and essential minerals.

    This is equally true in the #biotic environment (the “#biosphere”), consisting of microorganisms, plants, animals, and the human body; in #abiotic (lifeless) environments, such as the #geosphere, the #lithosphere, the #hydrosphere, and the #atmosphere; and in the entire #ecosphere, comprising ecosystems composed of biotic and abiotic elements in complex interrelationships. Such ecosystems, large and small, for all their components, also interact in intricate mutual relationships.

  7. Andrew Frederiksen (U. Manitoba) gave us a very clear explanation of a better way to analyze shear-wave splitting as a way to probe the fabric (heterogeneities) of the upper mantle under continents.

    The red and orange contours of large split times in British Columbia represent aligned olivine from present-day horizontal mantle flow. Splitting in Alberta represents fabrics formed and preserved from the Precambrian.

  12. Aufeis (Earth sciences 🌍)

    Aufeis is a sheet-like mass of layered ice that forms from successive flows of ground or river water during freezing temperatures. This form of ice is also called overflow, icings, or the Russian term, naled. The term "Aufeis" was first used in 1859 by Alexander von Middendorff following his observations of the phenomenon in northern Siberia. When t...
