Recently, I read an article from the Smithsonian with the headline, 131-Year-Old Message in a Bottle Found on Australian Beach, and I was fairly flabbergasted by this. “A bottle out at sea for how long?”

I originally posted this on @steepshot, but for some reason the photo was compressed and looked nothing like the original. Oddly enough, the first time it posted a photo, the original could be accessed

Special Note: It has occurred to me recently that I'm not the only person who writes about material dealing with oddball topics. A fellow Steemian who goes by the name @ruth-girl has an ongoing series

This will be my first post using the Steepshot app. I hope this panorama looks decent once uploaded. I have a ton of photos to share. I hope you guys enjoy them! Steepshot | IPFS | Google Play

What you're viewing isn't the Lonely Mountain from The Hobbit. This is Mt. Hood— one of many stratovolcanoes that reside in the Cascade Volcanic Arc of the Pacific Northwest. I spent a summer camping in

In this post, I'll be discussing how—through the study of isotopes in igneous rock below Réunion Island— modern volcanism can be correlated to geological events that occurred during the Earth's formation

If you would like a brief explanation as to how cumulus clouds form, please refer to my prior post. It's a quick read, I promise! As for the time-lapse, it can viewed below. Enjoy! Cumulus and stratocumulus

Through my geological studies and continuing writings on Steemit, there have been certain books, apps and other resources that have helped me along the way. Whether it’s a quick refresher on a topic, an

The time-lapse video can be viewed below. Enjoy! This image displays cumulus clouds forming over the Roanoke Valley in Virginia. Image Source: Author of article @keephy It occurred to me recently that

In the last two posts regarding the geology of the Appalachians, I focused primarily on the geological consequences this region has endured for the better part of a half a billion years. In this post,

For my core group of followers, I'd like to extend an apology for my lack of engagement on Steemit as of late. I've been dealing with a gnarly wisdom tooth, while also being in the process of buying a

Now that I’ve had the opportunity to live in different regions of the Appalachian Mountains, I’m able to discern changes in the topography in any given region of the mountain chain. For instance, in

One of the more interesting phenomena I’ve stumbled upon while studying geology is the possibility for tsunamis to occur on lakes, inland seas and even fjords. However, these tsunamis are not the causality

Before I begin, I'd like to give a few shout outs to @steemstem, @mountainwashere, @shaka and @geopolis. The level of support that I have been greeted with from these communities and individuals has been

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written about an oddball geological feature. This is largely because it was only supposed to be a 5 part series. However, through my research I discovered there is a plethora

As the first societies of the world began to form, key rivers and religious leaders played a significant role in the development of many ancient cultures. Amongst ancient societies, one of the best examples

Tis’ the season for nasty weather and all the hazards that come along with it. For the past two weeks, the area I’m currently living was forecasted to get multiple snowstorms. Instead, we barely received
