Earth's Heartbeat

It might be surprising to know that just like humans, the earth also has a heartbeat. According to a recent study of ancient geological events, the heartbeat is 27.5 million years old and slow as well. It was first discovered during the 1960s. The Schumann Resonance waves (named after Winfried Otto Schumann) oscillating between greater and lower energy have a base frequency of 7.83 Hz. The base frequency of 7.83 Hz is called 'Earths Heartbeat'. Progressively weaker harmonics have been measured at around 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.


Humans have a pulse, so does the earth. The pulse of the earth is a cluster of geological events which are volcanic activity, mass extinctions, plate reorganizations, and sea level rises. Research shows that the next pulse will be after 20 million years as it occurs only every 27 million years once. 

The pulses of tectonic and climate change are the result of geophysical processes related to the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle plumes. The pulses could have developed by astronomical cycles associated with the earth's motions in the solar system.

WHY ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEAN ARE NOT MIXED?

Nearly 72% of the earth is filled with water and it is present with different names- oceans, seas, rivers. Why are they named differently? There are five oceans namely Artic ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian ocean and Antarctic ocean . All the oceans are different in their physical and biological character called ocean clines. When we look at the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean junction, they do not mix. Is there any invisible Wall in between them? Many scientists have conducted research to solve this mystery. The Atlantic and Pacific Ocean have different chemical composition. The salinity of the water in the Atlantic Ocean is five times more than the Pacific Ocean. The density of water is also different, so even marine animals in Atlantic Ocean will not go to the Pacific Ocean. They cannot survive in other oceans. Atlantic and Pacific Ocean meet at Cape Horn. The narrow straight line formed by the water bodies is called Drake Strait. The Pacific Ocean is ...

How did fruits get their names?

There is a variety of fruits in today's world. Each fruit has a name and the names are derived from foreign languages - modern and ancient. Some of these fruits have names that don't go with the fruit also. The name gooseberry has nothing to do with geese. It was originally called gorseberry. 'Gorse' in Saxton (a language spoken by early germanic people) means 'rough'. This fruit grows on a rough or thorny shrub. Just like the gooseberry, the fruit strawberry has no connection with straws. Strawberry is the changed name of 'strayberry'. The strawberry runners stray in all directions and hence the name. Peaches have been around for thousands of years. This fruit made its way to Europe when the Romans were around. The Romans called it 'persicum' meaning 'Persian apples. It was traded by the Persians during that time.  The national fruit of New Zealand kiwi was found in China. In other countries, it was called Chinese goo...
