According to the researchers at ETH Zurich, the Earth슬롯사이트™s interior seems to be cooling down faster than expected. It may follow the footsteps of rocky planets Mercury and Mars. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

The study, which has been carried out by ETH Professor Motohiko Murakami and his colleagues from Carnegie Institution for Science, has been published in the 'Earth and Planetary Science Letters Journal'. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Is Mars Habitable?

These experts have developed a sophisticated measurement system, that enables them to measure the thermal conductivity of bridgmanite in the laboratory. It is done under the pressure and temperature conditions that prevail inside the Earth. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

It suggested that the heat flow from the core into the mantle is also more than what was thought previously. The greater heat flow increases mantle convection and spikes the cooling of the Earth. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

It also causes plate tectonics to decelerate faster than expected based on previous heat conduction values. The tectonics are responsible for the convective motions of the mantle. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

These changes seem to be leading to the cooling down of the planet, said the researchers. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

"Our results could give us a new perspective on the evolution of the Earth's dynamics. They suggest that Earth, like the other rocky planets Mercury and Mars, is cooling and becoming inactive much faster than expected," Murakami explained. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

"We still don't know enough about these kinds of events to pin down their timing," he said. 슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Massive Icefish Breeding Colony With 60 Million Nests Discovered in Antarctica

To do that calls first for a better understanding of how mantle convection works in spatial and temporal terms. Moreover, scientists need to clarify how the decay of radioactive elements in the Earth's interior슬롯사이트”one of the main sources of heat슬롯사이트”affects the dynamics of the mantle.
