2020/8/24A new study from Hokkaido University suggests that rising ocean temperatures are impacting an unexpected region of East Antarctica. The experts have found that ice is melting at an alarming rate beneath the Shirase Glacier Tongue, where warmer waters flow into the surrounding bay.
The rare earth element (REE) distribution patterns show obvious Eu anomaly with average δEu values of 0.664, and δCe anomalies of 1.044. REE characteristics are similar to those of wall rocks (regional metamorphic rocks), but different from those of the Dexing
Chief executive officer of London Metal Exchange (LME) Martin Abbott met reporter of Japan Metal Bulletin in Tokyo last week and gave a view it would be difficult for LME to launch new contracts of rare earths and precious metals. Mr. Abbott said LME
2013/5/29Contracting Earth Theory, or geophysical global cooling if you want to get all science-y about it, was a theory before the idea of plate tectonics ever came about that said the Earth is actually getting smaller over time, and the shrinking Earth is what causes natural disasters as well as the natural wonders of nature, such as mountain ranges.
The Rare Earth hypothesis suggests that Earth-like planets containing complex (animal) life as we know it are likely quite rare in the Universe. This lesson will explore several parameters that have led the scientists Peter Ward and Donald Brownlee to put forth this hypothesis in their book, Rare Earth: Why Complex Life is Uncommon in the Universe .
The rare Earth hypothesis is about rare intelligent life, not about rare life. It is quite possible that 99.999% of all worlds which evolve life never evolve intelligent life. The evidence used in the discussion of the Fermi Paradox is clear: there is no intelligent alien life in the Milky Way.
2019/5/29Chinese media clamour suggests restrictions on rare earth metals exports to US May 29, 2019 by Mai Tao Chinese media outlets are raising the possibility of restrictions on the export of rare earth metals to the US. The move could be the most effective
2013/3/28An extrapolation of the genetic complexity of organisms to earlier times suggests that life began before the Earth was formed. Life may have started from systems with single heritable elements that are functionally equivalent to a nucleotide. The genetic complexity, roughly measured by the number of non-redundant functional nucleotides, is expected to have grown exponentially due to several
2020/7/31The group can't know for sure which volcanoes may have erupted and spewed the rare elements across the Earth, but candidates include Mount St. Helens, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and volcanoes located in Germany. Is it possible that volcanic eruptions
One rare earth trader warned Fastmarkets that history has shown us that China can use rare earths supply as a weapon if it feels threatened. The threat of a rare earth export embargo is not new. In 2010, China attempted to cut off rare earth exports to Japan after a dispute over the ownership of a group of islands in the East China Sea, which sent prices briefly surging upward.
The earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23 1 / 2 degrees relative to the perpendicular of the earth's plane of orbit. This tilt causes the four seasons. During the months of May, June, and July the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, causing the hemisphere to

Rare earths are raw materials containing a series of chemical elements that are crucial to many modern technologies, such as consumer electronics. The official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, People's Daily, said in an editorial Wednesday that the U.S. is a major buyer of China's rare earth materials and is "highly dependent" on such resources.

2002/11/9The rare-earth element concentrations are not typically affected by sea and river waters, as rare-earth elements are insoluble and thus have very low concentrations in these fluids. As a result, when a sediment is transported, rare-earth element concentrations are unaffected by the fluid and instead the rock retains the rare-earth element concentration from its source.
