Microbes likely form magnetite in the South China Sea

Jul 22, 2024 | phys.org | Rachel Fritts

Magnetite, the most magnetic mineral on Earth, is increasingly being found in seafloor environments that are rich in iron and have high methane flux. But how it forms in such settings—whether by microbes that thrive near methane seeps or by processes that don't require life—is not entirely clear.

Cómo los movimientos del manto dan forma a la superficie terrestre

Jun 18, 2024 | eos.org | Rachel Fritts

This is an authorized translation of an Eos article. Esta es una traducción al español autorizada de un artículo de Eos. El movimiento de las placas tectónicas da forma a las características rocosas de la superficie de la Tierra. La convergencia de las placas puede formar cordilleras o fosas oceánicas, y su divergencia puede formar dorsales oceánicas. Pero no son sólo las propias placas las que influyen en la topografía de la Tierra.

Earth’s Subduction May Have Been Triggered by the Same Event That Formed the Moon

May 20, 2024 | eos.org | Rachel Fritts

By 4.3 billion years ago, Earth’s crust may have already looked much like it does today. This is the earliest time some researchers think the plates of our planet’s crust began to slide against, over, and under each other in a process known as plate tectonics. How the very first instance of subduction—a key part of plate tectonics—occurred is still debated. In a new study, Yuan et al. find evidence tracing the first subduction event to the same impact that created our Moon.
