Jakarta – Planet Earth still full of mystery. The more we delve into its formation and composition, the more fascinated and surprised we become. One of the surprising episodes in Earth’s history was the Carnian Pluvial period, during which it is believed that our planet received continuous rain for millions of years. Rain that falls … Read more
Jakarta – As Africa and Eurasia slowly collide, the rumbling of the Earth provides a seismographic picture of what was once part of our planet’s surface, which now lies upside down deep beneath the Mediterranean Sea. Spain is particularly prone to rare, deep earthquakes, and a new study suggests that these overturning tectonic plates may … Read more
Jakarta – Ecologists have discovered new evidence that the Pacific Ocean plate is riddled with major faults. This condition is caused by the plate slowly drifting westward and diving into the Earth’s mantle. The researchers believe that their findings, if accurate, have the potential to redefine what we previously understood about how our planet works. … Read more
Countless similarities between Mars and Earth could already be discovered, and researchers have now found a new one when they used several instruments to examine the southern mountainous region known as the Eridania region, which revealed 63 new volcanic structures to scientists.

Jakarta – Scientists in China recently made new discoveries about the heart of our planet. Every 8.5 years, the Earth’s core vibrates on its rotation axis. This shift is most likely caused by a small misalignment between the Earth’s inner core and mantle to the layers beneath the Earth’s crust, according to a new study … Read more
Jakarta – Five years ago, scientists created an interactive map model that could show where we would emerge if we dug our way through the Earth. Most of the answers are ‘somewhere in the ocean’. But if you think about it again, is it possible to dig the Earth until it comes out the other … Read more
Jakarta – Before hosting life as it does now, Earth was once a planet that was not suitable for living creatures to live on. For our planet’s first 50 million years, about 4.5 billion years ago, its surface was a sea of super-hot magma, bubbling and emitting heat from within the Earth. The cooling of … Read more
