Convection Inside the Mantle

Most of what we know about Earth's interior comes from observing how seismic waves--mostly from earthquakes--bounce around. As our observations have gotten better--more seisometers, better imaging techniques--scientists have identified two large anomalies sitting near the bottom of the mantle. (Image credits: E.

Sea otters are famed for their luscious pelts, but the fur almost led to their extinction. By 1938, only a tiny population of ~50 remained clinging to the central California coast. Since then, the mammals have battled back. However, the charismatic creatures are still at risk from crude oil spilled by offshore rigs. But no one knew how severely crude oil impacts the buoyancy of sea otter fur or how well it recovers after cleaning. And Kate Riordan from California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly SLO), U.S., adds that the fur of newborn sea otter pups was also believed to be particularly buoyant, but no one had checked.
