Continents Emerged As Rock Foam. Earth Nuclear Engine & Moon Played A Role. Crucial For Biogenesis

Abstract: It seems that Earth started as a water world. Continents were the light debris of plate collisions and long stayed very small and rare. However the tiny continents played a crucial role in the rise of life, which in turn removed the methane, and that, in turn, enabled much larger continents, while burying much water in the upper mantle. So here is the riddle of Earth: a lot of what…

down with worldbuilding and lore. the point of fiction is to show you something fucked up and scary, not to explain it

I've been watching Reacher while I work and it is full of Bad Men with terrible survival instincts.

For the Aarmau fans (me, I'm an Aarmau fan) But I've never been as enthusiastic about it. I was DEVOTED to Garmau, then jumped ship when he got manipulated at the end of season 1, and I also jumped ship with Larmau after that abysmal wedding. Genuinely didn't want to get attached to any new pairings just in case and I was RIGHT because they killed Aaron. But this ship stuck with me because of how depressing it ended.

Anyway, rant aside. In front of people they're serious and focused, and when they're alone together they match each other's freak a little too well.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I showed this to my sister and she said he looked like hasn't showered in 2 weeks and that was EXACTLY what I was going for 🫶

I agree with a lot of the criticism against Aaron's character, but after so much petty jealousy and possessiveness from the other love interest around Aphmau, I actually enjoyed his nonchalant dreadhead energy.

(LOVE this couple btw)

Danakil Depression, Ethiopia: The Danakil Depression is one of the hottest, lowest, and driest places on the planet. In the northernmost pocket of Ethiopia, it is home to salt lakes, lava lakes, volcanoes and neon acid springs... The Danakil Depression is the northern part of the Afar Triangle or Afar Depression in Ethiopia and Eritrea, a geological depression that has resulted from the divergence of three tectonic plates in the Horn of Africa. It is the third lowest lying location on the continent of Africa. Wikipedia

mmmnnnnbbb winter clothes

Lowlands (Ephennos, Ephenni):

-short sleeved linen tunic, silk waimengari shortcloak (decorative), wool trousers, knit wool hat, and a thick wool cape. Widespread adoption of trousers outside of the context of riding is most characteristic of the western provinces and is central in men's winter wear there.

-three capes combined- thick wool sheet as underclothes, thinner linen sheet as outerwear, and a thin linen veil functioning as a hat, scarf, and a sleeve for the exposed dominant hand.

Highlands (West Rivers, Silde-Urbinnas)

-wool tunic, wool trousers, very nice woolen jacket, wool and deer fur hat. Mittens and a cape might be added as outerwear for very cold days or outdoor labor.

At the low elevations, winters are rainy and very mild and rarely dip below freezing. Exact temperature ranges vary by region, but the average winter minimum is 40 F and maximum is around 60 F. You have a decent chance of seeing some snowfall at least once a year on very cold days, but actual snow accumulation is rare and memorable, and seeing standing bodies of water freeze is often a once in a lifetime event.

In highland conditions, winters can get significantly colder, though exactly how harsh this is varies tremendously by elevation. Most year-round inhabited highland areas have temperature ranges of ~20-40F (give or take). Precipitation will mostly come as snowfall in this context. In most years you can count on snow accumulation during most of the winter, though it only tends to last without some in-between melting at the more sparsely/impermanently inhabited higher slopes. Most mountaintops will retain snow cover throughout the winter, and the two highest peaks are VERY occasionally known to receive rare summer rains as snowfall.

Most of the Wardi population is spread at low elevations, though the majority of the province Erub and parts of Ephennos are geographically located in elevated highland foothills and may experience slightly colder winters than adjacent low plains. The north of the province Wardin has its own (less dramatic) uplands, the tallest hills of which (~3000 ft) are known to get a crest of snow during particularly cold, wet winters. Inversely, the Yellowtail valley is culturally considered part of the Highlands but is a low plain with very mild winters. It hosts the largest lake in this region and it only freezes over in its entirety approximately once a century.

" you let out a shrill cry. desperation tearing out your vocals as you reach out, hand extended. and, as merciful as i am. i answered your call. "

another doodle of these two again help more doodles + concept designs under the cut (and also additional tectonic plates doodle too)

tmw both of your suppressed guilt and mistakes are the main reason why you hate yourself. yet something about it makes you feel whole and it's such a disgusting, satisfying feeling.

anyway wow i didnt expect i would like this ship (technically i dont ship it romantic wise LMAO i LOVE metaphors too okay i think we're shipping metaphors in a way now/silly/pos)

Madeira sits on the African Tectonic Plate, although it is culturally, politically and ethnically associated with Europe, with its population predominantly descended from Portuguese settlers. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, on the main island’s south coast. Wikipedia

Steve who's very solution oriented whenever someone he cares about (Billy) is upset and is very, 'What's the problem? I'll fix it right now. ' vs Billy who hears that as a, 'Fix your shit. Get over it and move on,' dismissal and immediately pulls into a protective turtle shell of, 'No, it's fine. I'll handle it myself,' vs Steve who hears that as 'I don't need your help, and i don't need you,' and gets a little frantic about it, and they spiral.

2024: Grjótagjá, Iceland. This is rift faulting in basalts on the eastern side of Lake Myvatn. I was able to swim here 27 years ago but it is now too hot. For GOT enthusiasts, it is the place where they filmed Jon Snow and Ygritte becoming very close, special friends.

An underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon, known as Axial Seamount, is nearing its next eruption. Scientists predict that this active undersea volcano will erupt sometime between now and the end of 2025.
