Fun fact for you: scientists don't really know how the Himalayas formed. I mean yeah, they realize that the India tectonic plate is slamming into the Eurasia plate and has been for about 50 million years, but the mystery...
In response to the disaster in Haiti on Jan. 12, NASA has added a series of science overflights of earthquake faults in Haiti and the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispaniola to a previously scheduled three-week airborne radar campaign to Central America. NASA's Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar, or UAVSAR, left NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, Calif., on Jan. 25 aboard a modified NASA Gulfstream III aircraft. During its trek to Central America, which will...
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System. The planet is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. It is also referred to as the "Red Planet" because of its reddish appearance, due to iron oxide prevalent on its surface. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts and polar ice caps of Earth. Unlike the Earth, Mars is now a geologically inactive planet with no...
People of Haiti (Source: Please help.) There appears to be evidence that the USA is trying to kill many of the poor people of Haiti. The USA's interest in Haiti may be because of Haiti's oil and Haiti's strategically important location. On 20 January 2010, at Information Clearinghouse, Cynthia McKinney noted (An Unwelcome Katrina Redux): 1. The USA is building its fifth-largest embassy in the world in Port-au-Prince. 2. Haiti has oil. Some people believe that the USA is now doing to Haiti...
Supe de Haití desde que tengo memoria. Recuerdo a un embajador de ese país cuando visitó mi casa, porque mi madre iba a ofrecer un recital con sus poemas, traducidos del francés, en su programa Oro Lírico en el Atardecer. No recuerdo la fecha. Ese país era entonces el reino de Papa Doc y sus Tonton Macouts. Aprendí a amarlo cuando leí The Serpent and the Rainbow (La serpiente y el arcoiris) del antropólogo canadiense Wade Davies. La consecuente...
Although the recent earthquake with epicentre in Port Prince (Haiti), had the same characteristics (magnitude: 7.0 + seismological fault + tectonic slip) that the one happened recently in California and other places -most geologists, including Robert Yeats (Oregon State University)- estimate to that of Haiti like a great earthquake for: 1) The seismological fault (Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden Fault), is located to 10 km deep and 16 km of distance from Port Prince, in the intersection of the...
click photo to enlarge What is the most important resource on earth? You could argue that it is the libraries and computers that hold a record of the sum of human knowledge. If a natural or man-made disaster almost obliterated life on our planet then the written record of mankind would surely be the invaluable resource that enabled the surviving humans to rebuild our civilization. On the other hand there's also a strong case to be made for an underground building on the Svalbard archipelago of the...

Hola muchachos, si no actualizo mucho el blog es por una muy buena razón, no tengo tiempo. Este post va a ser diferente (completamente diferente..) ya que es el primero que no es producto de una ?investigación? mía, y es mas un ?re-tweet? o un ?re-post? de otro blog. En New Scientist publicaron sobre una enorme grieta de 500 metros de largo y 60 metros de profundidad que se abrió en la zona del Rift Continental en la región de Afar en Etiopia, lógicamente en el...
The earthquake that occurred in the Sumatra some time ago, encouraged me to write Earthquake Resistant House. Republic of Indonesia is an earthquake prone countries, because in our country the ocean floor there are three plates, the Eurasian, Indo-Australia and the Pacific, which will result if the collision of tectonic earthquake, such as Sumatra earthquake. Naturally, these natural phenomena can not be avoided. For plates in our country that is part of the earth's crust is moving on. Movement...
… too far from God, too close to the United States! One can’t do much about the geography of Heaven, although Cardinal Norberto Ribera would like to see a Legislature a little closer to the people… or, rather, as "Secret History" suggests, to the Cardinal’s chosen people. And the United States isn’t about to undergo any tectonic plate shifts in the near future either. Justin Thody, who directs Latin American analysis for the Economist Intelligence Union,...

Estados Unidos, 2003. Pues ya que andamos muy jazzeros, ahora me toca publicar este fabuloso álbum para inaugurar la etiqueta, tengo algunos álbumes de ellos, así que los iré publicando regularmente. Birdsongs Of The Mesozoic nace tras el rompimiento de la banda post-punk Moving Parts, dando un giro de 180 grados en su carrera, ahora mas experimental, parte de rock progresivo, parte de jazz, fusión, música de cámara, y una locura a la Zappa.

Dione [Die-OH-nee; adjective: Dionean] is a small moon of 1,123 kilometers (698 miles) in diameter orbiting Saturn every 2.7 days at a distance of 377,400 kilometers (234,000 miles), which is roughly the same distance that the Moon orbits around the Earth. Dionean Geology Dione's features include heavily cratered terrain with craters as large as 100 kilometers (62 miles) across, moderately cratered plains, lightly cratered plains, and fractured areas. The heavily cratered areas are most common on...
