Researchers discovered massive buried mounds and sinkites under the North Sea that challenge traditional geological understanding, revealing a process where dense sands sink and lighter ooze rises due to liquefaction and seismic activity, which has implications for underground carbon storage safety.
A new study reveals that parts of the North Sea seabed contain inverted sand layers called 'sinkites,' which could impact understanding of underground reservoirs and carbon storage efforts, as these structures suggest complex geological processes involving sediment sinking and floating during the Late Miocene to Pliocene epochs.
Scientists from the University of Manchester discovered a geological anomaly in the North Sea where typical layering is reversed due to ancient seismic activity, creating 'floatites' that challenge conventional geologic understanding and could impact future energy and environmental strategies.
Scientists have discovered massive, previously unknown geological structures called 'sinkites' beneath the North Sea, formed by dense sands sinking into lighter sediments, a process that challenges conventional geological understanding and has implications for future carbon storage efforts.
Researchers from the University of Manchester discovered massive sinkholes called 'sinkites' beneath the North Sea, which invert traditional geological layers and could significantly impact energy storage and carbon capture strategies by revealing new fluid migration pathways within Earth's crust.
