Scientists from Canada and France have just revealed the results of their collaborative effort study the oldest rocks in North America.
What they have revealed is our first concrete evidence of volcanism in the Hadean Period over 4 billion years ago, making these the oldest rocks on earth

While browsing Africa on google earth I noticed something striking inside the Mulanje Mountain Forest Reserve in Malawi.
What I found was a story that was not told in the Western world. A story of a unique storm that traveled for 12,785 km, doubling back on itself 3 times. #science #geography

These volcanic features of the Navajo Volcanic field can be found in great abundance in various stages of exposure and erosion!
The volcanoes that existed here are understood as maar-diatreme volcanoes, which would erupt when the magma rises through the regions abundant groundwater and explodes

Geologists believe Shiprock formed about 3,000 feet below the earth’s surface about 27 million years ago, when lava solidified inside the feeder conduit of a large, ancient volcano - https://youtu.be/_XCov2Z96xM

These stunning black beaches are formed like any pristine beach you may see elsewhere in the world, but the key difference is in the Pryoxene mineral grains that weather out of the surrounding basaltic rocks in the region.

Here green fields, yellow river, black beach and blue ocean collide. All this beauty is located on the Reynisfjara beach. Iceland 🌊💚
