Rocks, fires, and monoliths! 🔥🏞️ Dive into our hot research published in @NatureComms on how wildfires sculpt rock features like Uluru and Wave Rock. Discover how fire-induced rock spalling drives the formation of stunning flared slopes and inselbergs.

China's helicopter reached the spot where the glacier had broken,
and the water released from it had caused massive destruction in Nepal. This event is called a GLOF.
Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (#GLOF) can occur when the dam of a lake held
back by a glacier suddenly bursts.
releasing millions of cubic meters of trapped water.

The video is not from a Chinese helicopter over a glacier break in Nepal. It shows a glacial lake outburst at Alaska's Columbia Glacier, per original footage by pilot Leigh Coates.

BREAKING: Magnitude 7.7 #earthquake hits #Myanmar, with epicenter just west of Mandalay — home to 1.5 million people.
The ground likely moved at speeds up to 7-10 inches per second in the city.
Enormous population exposure to liquefaction (when ground behaves like liquid).
