"A team of geoscientists from the University of Toronto is shedding new light on the century-old model of plate tectonics, which suggests the plates covering the ocean floors are rigid as they move across the Earth's mantle.

The researchers found that the Pacific plate is scored by large undersea faults that are pulling it apart. The newly discovered faults, described in a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, are the result of enormous forces within the plate tugging it westward.

Some of the faults are thousands of meters deep and hundreds of kilometers long.

"We knew that geological deformations like faults happen on the continental plate interiors far from plate boundaries," says Erkan Gün, a post-doctoral researcher in the department of Earth Sciences in the Faculty of Arts & Sciences. "But we didn't know the same thing was happening to ocean plates.""

""But the theory [The theory of plate tectonics ] 's not carved in stone and we're still finding new things," says Pysklywec. "Now we know this fault damage is tearing apart the center of an ocean plate—and this could be linked to seismic activity and volcanism.

"A new finding like this overturns what we've understood and taught about the active Earth," he says. "And it shows that there are still radical mysteries about even the grand operation of our evolving planet.""

Expanding Earth

The Expanding Earth Theory is a scientific concept that proposes that the Earth's crust has been gradually increasing in size over geological time, causing the continents to move apart. This theory stands in contrast to the widely accepted theory of plate tectonics, which suggests that the Earth's lithosphere is divided into several rigid plates that move and interact with each other.

The Expanding Earth Theory suggests that as the Earth expands, the continents move away from each other, creating new oceanic crust between them. It argues that the growth of the Earth is responsible for the observed continental drift and the formation of ocean basins. Proponents of this theory argue that it can explain various geological features, such as the fit of continents, the distribution of ancient fossils, and the formation of mountain ranges.

However, it is important to note that the Expanding Earth Theory is not widely accepted within the scientific community. The theory faces numerous challenges and conflicts with a vast amount of geological and geophysical evidence that supports plate tectonics. The overwhelming consensus among scientists is that plate tectonics is the prevailing mechanism responsible for the movement of Earth's crust and the formation of geological features.

Plate tectonics provides a more comprehensive and well-supported framework for understanding the Earth's geological processes, including the formation of mountain ranges, the distribution of earthquakes and volcanic activity, and the evolution of continents over millions of years.

While the Expanding Earth Theory has not gained mainstream scientific acceptance, it still attracts some interest from fringe or alternative science communities. However, it is crucial to approach scientific theories with skepticism and rely on evidence-based consensus within the scientific community for a well-founded understanding of Earth's geological processes.

ianto jones one of characters of all time to me. lying to his sister about his job (hunting aliens) is understandable but lying to his coworkers about i am presuming a lot about his home life and childhood and person. yeah. and not talking about his sexuality ever despite it clearly being some big fucking thing he's struggling with. and then DYING leaving all of that unsaid.

#in my head (and presumably! in the audio dramas and books but i havent consumed many of them yet) he is definitely more open with jack but #oh my god. also i assume he is more open with gwen and tosh and owen in aforementioned expanded universe stuff but then again like re: the #tailor example he could just be fucking lying. IANTO JONES I LOVE YOU #shut up ulrike #torchwood #ianto jones #children of earth

One of them hyperspecific polls but

#mass effect #heyyy #ok to expand on 2 of these #it would mean more and be a looming consequence if an unloyal squadmate dies while retaking earth #also it would be an incentive towards either gaining the loyalty OR gaining more extra TMS before the battle #since they would count towards the final total but #as they die #it would lower #and it would be too late to gather anymore points #and for the destroy should have been a bad end #I wish it was more than just ‘ oh no all synthetic life :((( ‘#but more of ‘ by choosing this you will destroy everything . this blast will destroy the crucible and the citadel . ‘#‘ this will put an end to the reaper threat but it will send the galaxy back to a time before any form of space travel ‘#‘ and you have to hope future generations do not begin the cycle again ‘#ok yeah that’ s it < 3

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

Theta Sigma Interviewing People for his Earth Project at the Academy Part 1

Theta Sigma: King Arthur came a lot, didn't he?

Poor human: I think you mean he's associated with the court of Camelot.

Theta: No, it definitely says here. 'King Arthur came a lot.' Do we know if he came a lot? Or like, just the same as the average man?

Human: ....The only evidence I have in that regard is that he's said to have one child.

----

Theta: The Victorians had horse-drawn buses, but you never see horses drawing anything these days.

Theta: When did they lose their ability to draw?

Human: When we talk about horse-drawn buses, we're not really talking about horses drawing buses.

----

Theta: Ancient people invented money to make life on Earth easier, but in doing so, they inadvertently invented capitalism, which is going to kill everyone.

----

Theta: Social media has been polarizing people, hasn't it? Like what's already happened to the bears.

Human: What bears?

Theta: Polar bears.

----

Theta: Which was more culturally significant: the Renaissance or 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce?

----

Theta: This is the famous Greenwich Marillion Line. I can be in the past and in the future with the present running right up through my middle bits.

----

Theta: But what was so great about Henry VIII? He had six wives, all called Catherine. He was a Catherineaholic. Or a Catholic, for short.

Totally unaffected by this gesture of affection, definitely (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #The Captain #ZEX #Forgive the quality lol I wanted to make them pretty but then- Well you know lol #Dandelions <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 #You know it's bad when you start getting excited about the most mundane little signifiers <3 #Dandelions deserve way more love than they get anyway it all balances out #I just hghh it's such a simple setup but there's a lot of feelings that can be expanded upon!#Like would Zelnick know about dandelions cultural ties?? He grew up on Unzervalt - unless someone brought some with them!#Or explained it I guess - but also Unzervaltians seem like scrappy underdogs sprouting up in the sidewalk cracks to defy the Ur-Quan too #Feels like it would actually mean a lot to him if he knew their symbolism!#But even if he didn't - they're Earth Flora! A piece of his home that /should/ just be mundane and everyday and not a big deal but it is!!#I legit teared up at Zelnick appreciating a blue atmosphere ah <3 #He loves Earth so much wah <3 The naturalistic storytelling in his internal monologue are genuinely So Good #And then y'already know I love ZEX gifting him flowers lol I really do need to finish that one comic I posted the preview of it's cute!#Any little way that he engages with human courtship is The Cutest to me <3 Trying so hard to impress his love!#Trying so hard to cross that cultural gap agh it gets me bad! Seeing humans as more than just pretty somethings to be enjoyed at a distance #ZEX's pride also gets me bad hehe but I really love when he uses his intelligence to try to relate and understand #See humans as complex individuals both personally and in different cultures! He gets so distracted so easily hehe silly ♪#Also I don't know if I have anywhere else that it'd come up but agh gods his and Zelnick's conversation about the eventual fallout of ZEX's #kidnap attempt - Literally The Best like ugh!! ♥ I /tried/ to write something half that exact and eloquent and it's just right there!

Thinking about ASTV and how it tackles different family dynamics again, and while I’m sure so many fans of Miguel’s 2099 comics would love it if one of his love interests was brought into BSTV to help wrap up his backstory… I kinda hope they don’t, because him being an entirely single dad just sounds so much better to me than him having some dead off-screen partner.

Resolving to adopt a kid from another dimension also sounds more in line with the desperation of a man whose been put through the ringer in the adoption process, than that of someone who was a husband and father but lost that in recent years. It just feels more cohesive and intimate, while not resorting to the tired trope of killing off some woman to motivate the big burly man into action. I don’t think that would be fair to Xina and Dana, specially if they weren’t already introduced in ASTV and therefore missed a pretty big chance at standing out in the narrative. I can’t claim to be the most attached to them, as I only know of them, but I know I wouldn’t want a character I cared about to be reduced to that- specially if it would arguably come to the detriment of another character as well.

#from what I’ve read there’s lots of cool things about the Earth-928 that I hope get at least a shoutout or serve to expand on M’s backstory #but the romance isn’t really one of them since I really think Miguel doesn’t need it to come off as interesting and sympathetic #again I think giving him a dead wife from before the story’s events would make him less compelling and more boring and standard #yadda yadda #this post could’ve been about how well ASTV balances the importance of the family you’re born into and the family you make for yourself #but i got distracted by this thought. anywho #astv #spiderman #spiderverse #my post #miguel o’hara #gabriella o’hara #marvel #sm2099 #btsv #eh whatevs #xina kwan #dana d'angelo

Teen Ben Omnitrix Au snippet

Teenager Omnitrix in the wild: learning how to function while being organic.

I've been thinking on and off about a fantastic fanfiction I read a while ago now which had Ben being the Omnitrix. Here

I have a very soft spot for those types of situations, you know? Playing around with questions regarding humanity and self views,my type of fun. So I thought "What if Ben looked a little older when he appeared from his dormant Omnitrix form?" And "What if he didn't know how to be human?"

"How would others view ben? How would it shape him?" Well this bad boy * slaps hood of this Au* was born from that question and others like it. *Evil laughter in the distance*

Teenager Omnitrix in the wild: learning how to function while being newly organic.

Chapter 1 sneak peek

Important Past lessons learnt from Gwen's teachings. Hygien. How did Ben learn it?

It started with an emergency shopping trip. They couldn't let the alien (genetically human) go without properly fitting clothes. Her uncle's ratty to big old clothes just wouldn't cut it. Plus The newly arrived and dubbed Ben would need stuff. Toothbrushes, hygiene products in general, clothes and proper shoes.

Gwen still didn't completely understand how or even why Ben would need to come along with them? Shouldn't they just call the authorities? Ben is still an alien, no matter how human he may look. Gwen is still probably the one that will need to tutor him on "how to human" or "pass for a human". She should probably start by explaining how to open the door.

"It says pull not push Ben!"

"Oh, sorry Gwen. I just don't understand why not all Terran establishments don't just have touchpads and auto opening entrances?"

She was going to need to teach him how to talk like a proper young dude. "Auto opening entrances" needs fixing as soon as she can scrabble together enough emergency movie DVDs, magazines and pop songs. She's going to make a proper teen out of him yet! Now where is the Wonder woman themed deodorant?

#ben 10 #Ben10xDc #which surprise!#it's coming #very soon #Ben is the Omnitrix #Au Ben10 is like 15 and is questioning why he was sent to this backwater ass planet for protection #He likes wearing crop tops since he often overheats in human form and no he won't get out of direct sunlight #it feels nice when you've never felt anything like it.#Ben has a lot of different alien dna sampled #even the expensive Kryptonian dna #and he is going to keep expanding his Gallery right here on earth #there's marsons and a tamaranean and like five Kryptonians flying about #Batman never said alien watches couldn't be in Gotham soo #Ben just needs to be sure if one of the bats are alien or not #chaos ensues #Gwen is 10 Ve #Ben is 15 a #crop top #wearing alien watch #even the bats are second guessing themselves about it #Mabye the Loa are involved have you seen the green color of Ben's watch #Kevin 11 gets kidnapped by the Tennysons #Kevin is confused #Grandpa Max is confused #Gwen and Ben are proud of themselves #this is DpxDcxBen10 #DpxBen10 #chaotic disasters the lot of them #dpxdc
