On some Australian islands, sea levels may be helping mangroves thrive. Mackenzie Laughlin. It happend 2,000-4,000 years ago. The event occurred on the northern coast of Australia. This is how mangroves in Australia will thrive with the sea levels rising while other areas will not. Hamylton flew a drone over the mangrove area to collect the data from the trees. The island has almost 54,000 metric tons of mangrove trees.Mangroves will use blue carbon to thrive during high sea levels.

Rock from the impact that formed the moon may linger in Earth's mantle. Auden James Lundquest It happend 4.5 billion years ago on early Earth. We found it from. Odd discrepancies in the Earth's mantel point to them as being the meteor that formed the moon. They ran simulations on the impact. Also we found earthquake waves were refracted in those spots. Such a collision would explain the chemical difference between the earth and the moon.

Marsquakes and meteorite hits show Mars has a dense liquid metal core. 2/24/20 They are inside Mars’ core and on the planet itself. Mars has a core that allows it to create earthquakes that shake the planet violently. Mars has a liquid core that is half of its diameter and it creates violent earthquakes

Dinosaur feathers may have been more birdlike than previously thought Aariyah Payton It happend 50 million years ago in Northeastern china. Dinosaurs used to have feathers and scientists are now discovering and investigating them. Many feathered dinosaurs couldn’t fly, While such a finding would not imply all feathered dinosaurs flew. The work also gives scientists valuable insight into how the fossil record may transform over time. In her work, feathers exposed to even higher temperatures preserved their proteins well when kept in sediment.
