As Farage gears up for appearing on BBC One about grooming gangs, it is really important that he is called out on it. There have already been inquiries into grooming gangs. Likes of Farage want to make them about race, they aren't, and trying to pretend otherwise allows other offenders to carry on 👇

Ready for some more interesting facts about earthquake magnitude? Each whole number increase in magnitude is a 10x increase in the measured amplitude (size of earthquake waves recorded on a seismometer), but represents 32x more energy released. This video gives a visual demonstration.

Some 780 million years ago, a massive, singular continent, Rodinia, was being torn apart by convective forces within the Earth. In Glacier National Park this tumultuous event is marked by a thin, dark igneous rock, squirted between layers of limestone, the Purcell Sill, adding favor to Mt. Gould.

A large M7.6 #earthquake and tsunami threat in Japan, but for once it is not associated with the subduction thrust off the east coast - it's a higher angle thrust in the overriding plate on the west coast (subducting plate here is probably 100+ km deep) earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Map of central Japan with a yellow star on the west coast showing the location of a magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred on 1 January 2024. The surrounding contours show the estimated magnitude of ground shaking - strong orange colour of the central contours indicates a maximum intensity of 8 or 9, the green contour about 100 km away shows an intensity of 6.A circular stereographic plot of the moment tensor for the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that occurred on 1 January 2024. The blue and white segments show directions where the first motion of rock during the rupture was moving towards or away from the receiving seismometer. This particular arrangement indicates motion on a steeply dipping NE-SW oriented thrust fault.
