Uneven Earth Cooling: Pacific Hemisphere Loses Heat Faster
- •Earth's interior is cooling unevenly, with the Pacific Ocean side losing heat faster than continental regions.
- •Thinner oceanic crust allows more rapid heat escape compared to thicker continental crust.
- •This uneven cooling pattern influences global tectonics, volcanic activity, and geological evolution.
- •Scientists use seismic tomography, computer models, and satellite data to study this deep-Earth phenomenon.
- •The discovery enhances understanding of mantle movement, ancient volcanic patterns, and long-term geological behavior.
Why It Matters: Uneven Earth cooling impacts tectonics, volcanoes, and geological evolution.
