Massive rift forming under the Pacific Northwest
Recent seismic research has unveiled a fascinating geological phenomenon occurring beneath the Pacific Northwest. The Earth’s crust is tearing apart, a process driven by tectonic forces in the region.
Scientists are studying carbon emissions through fault systems in the East African Rift (EAR) in an effort to understand carbon emissions from Earth's interior and how it affects the atmosphere.
