Indian Subcontinent’s Quake-Causing Collision Course

nytimes.com - When an unstoppable force like the Indian subcontinent crashes into an immovable object like Asia, the consequences include the tallest mountains in the world and a cadence of earthquakes like the magnitude 7.8 one that struck Nepal last month and a major aftershock in the same region last week. Many of the geological questions about the collision remain unanswered. How did the Indian subcontinent get so quickly to where it is today? How big was India originally? Even the simplest of questions — when did India meet Eurasia, the tectonic plate that Europe and Asia sit on? — is up for debate, with researchers offering answers that differ by some 30 million years. “It’s going to be hard to convince anyone,” said Oliver E. Jagoutz, a geologist at M.I.T. and part of a team that outlined its ideas about the collision in the journal Nature Geoscience. Another mystery is why India is still running into Asia at a quick pace — one and a half to two inches a year — driving the devastating earthquakes. “That is one of the biggest problems that we have in plate tectonics,” said Douwe J.J. van Hinsbergen, a professor of earth sciences at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. “It may not seem much, but it’s the rate at which your fingernails grow.” The geologists are like accident investigators trying to decipher what happened from the wreckage, pondering how rocks from the ocean floor ended up high in the Himalayas. Much of the evidence, namely the chunk of India that is now jammed under Tibet and the Himalayas, is out of reach. Still, until about a decade ago, scientists thought they had the story essentially figured out. Throughout Earth’s four-and-a-half-billion-year history, the hulking chunks of land have alternated between periods of combining into supercontinents like Pangea 300 million years ago and periods like today when they are moving apart. At the height of the age of dinosaurs, Pangea had broken into two giant continents, Laurasia and

Sure. One of those dollar store foil helium balloons did that? I've see a bouquet of like 20 foil balloons hit power lines. The balloons didn't make it, but the power stayed on.

(Cue the men in black suits, telling passersbys on the sidewalk to "move along, nothing to see here, all is taken care of"...)

Wow! I guess no one cares shill

What else is new

AKO (and others who are interested of course)- This was sent to me and I instantly thought of you. I am pretty sure you have heard of this story, but I was excited to share it with you anyway, just in case. :)

An Amazing Bear Story: A Man Found Two Bear Cubs Beside Their Dead Mother. Words Can't Describe What Followed.

A naturalist named Casey Anderson stumbled across two grizzly bear cubs nestled beside their dead mother in the wild mountains of Alaska. Casey couldn't just leave these little guys to die in the wilderness, so he made the brave decision to take them with him. He trains animals for a living, so he knew he would be able to give these cubs a real shot.

That simple decision, borne out of grief, turned into one of the most unique and adorable rehabilitation stories we have ever laid eyes on.

that is pretty close to La Palma Volcano.

This area is increasing in magnitude and getting increasingly unstable it looks like.
