What are the tremors are going to tell us about Mars?
. The quakes are significant, but they also represent the first-ever registered with their epicenters on the far side of the planet and are five times larger than any"marsquakes" ever detected.
This releases a large amount of energy over a short period of time, creating vibrations in the planet's crust. The researchers are yet to pinpoint S1000a’s exact location, but like S0976a it originated on Mars’ far side. The seismic energy from S1000a is also distinguished as the most prolonged quake recorded on Mars and lasted 94 minutes.occurred in the"core shadow zone" a region where P and S waves can’t travel directly to InSight’s seismometer because they are stopped or bent by the core.
All very interesting, but the two recently detected marsquakes also differ in other interesting ways. S0976a, for example, is characterized by only low-frequency energy, like many of the quakes identified so far on the planet. S1000a, on the other hand, has a very broad frequency spectrum.

New study links red tides and dead zones off west coast of FloridaA new study found that when red tides began in early summer and continued into the fall, low oxygen areas—or dead zones— were more likely to also occur. This study by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, and NOAA collaborators is the first study to link low oxygen—or hypoxia—to red tides across the west coast of Florida and offers new information to better understand the conditions favorable for combined events as they are expected to increase as Earth continues to warm.
