We further propose that these structures resulted from the Mesoproterozoic convergence between the Bundelkhand and Bastar Cratons along the Central Indian Tectonic Zone.

As Farage gears up for appearing on BBC One about grooming gangs, it is really important that he is called out on it. There have already been inquiries into grooming gangs. Likes of Farage want to make them about race, they aren't, and trying to pretend otherwise allows other offenders to carry on 👇

Dan Sohege @danielsohege.bsky.social · Jan 3

Reporting on grooming gangs tends to focus on minorities, however, as Home Office's own report showed, offenders are far more likely to be white, British. This isn't an immigration issue. Playing to racist tropes means majority of perpetrators are ignored. 1/ #r4today

Ready for some more interesting facts about earthquake magnitude?

Each whole number increase in magnitude is a 10x increase in the measured amplitude (size of earthquake waves recorded on a seismometer), but represents 32x more energy released.

This video gives a visual demonstration.

Ammonite is much loved in Japan. The logo of the Paleontological Society of Japan is an ammonite. For the most people, a fossil = an ammonite fossil.

There is an ammonite fossil exhibit at Kumamoto University right now. In Japan ammonite fossils have been found in western Kyushu and Hokkaido. #FossilFriday ⚒️

Anyway here’s a cheerful piece about how the Sun will eventually destroy all life on Earth (but not by exploding, so, you know, there’s that)

Our home star won't go supernova, but the end of its life will be no less spectacular.
