Seismic anisotropy in the deep mantle could partly be derived from the deformation of hydrous phase D
Shear waves split into fast and slow waves when they travel through elastically anisotropic media, and the anisotropy of the seismic velocity is recorded by seismic stations. In the Earth's deep interior, this is usually interpreted as the effect of.....»»
Ancient Antarctic microorganisms are aggressive predators
In Antarctica there is a small lake, called Deep Lake, that is so salty it remains ice-free all year round despite temperatures as low as -20°C in winter. Archaea, a unique type of single-celled microorganism, thrive in this bitterly cold environmen.....»»
