As always, the more we understand about how the Earth formed, and how its multitude of interior layers continue to function, the more accurately we can predict the future.
Weather, sea levels, climate change — these are all closely linked to the tectonic activity that endlessly churns away beneath our feet. You've Met One Today: 5 Creepy True Facts About Psychopaths. #2.
