A new geology theory featuring impact-powered rapid continental drift as an alternative to plate tectonics. The key to creation geology.In “Beyond Plate Tectonics: ‘Plate Dynamics'” author Richard Moody, Jr. tweaks the systematics of orthodox plate tectonics while
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has unveiled a previously unseen structure centered in the Milky Way – a finding likened in terms of scale to the discovery of a new continent on Earth. The feature, which spans 50,000 light-years, may be the remnant of an
Earth may be on the brink of a sixth mass extinction on the scale of the apocalyptic event that wiped out the dinosaurs. The researchers say that unless action is taken now to reverse the harmful effects of human activity on eco-systems, a full-blown mass
