  1. πŸ’πŸ»β€β™€οΈ ICYMI: πŸŒ‹πŸŒ The #RingOfFire experiences most of #Earth's volcanic #eruptions and #earthquakes.

    The activity is driven by #tectonic plates shifting and colliding over billions of years. Marie Tharp's #ocean floor mapping eventually provided the proof that confirmed continental drift.

  5. Comprehensive analysis reveals hidden genomic #evolution of brown algae phys.org/news/2024-12-comprehe

    Evolutionary #genomics of the emergence of #BrownAlgae as key components of coastal ecosystems cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8

    "450 million years ago, brown #algae transitioned from unicellular to simple multicellular forms. This was driven by #HorizontalGeneTransfer from #bacteria... Around 200 million years ago, following the breakup of #Pangea, brown algae underwent significant species diversification"

  6. Now the more #riebeckite facies of the #Paleozoic #Quincy #Granite

    The Quincy granite was a prized architectural stone, most famously used in the #BunkerHill Monument in #Boston #Massachusetts. Current dating suggests it was intruded into #Avalonia before it glommed onto #Laurentia as #Laurasia and #Pangea were assembled. Today’s #photo set comes from a walk around the eponymous Bunker Hill Quarry. I’ll post more about the history later. Captions!
