#EastTennessee does not have a #ContinentalClimate primarily due to its geographical features and proximity to the Gulf Coast.

The region has a humid subtropical climate, characterized by warm, humid summers and mild winters, rather than the extreme temperature variations seen in continental climates.

The #Appalachian Mountains create a "#RainShadow" effect, contributing to significant precipitation variability across the region.

“W. Jason Morgan, Who Developed Theory of Plate #Tectonics, Dies at 87
His framework offered a new way to think about continental drift and revolutionized the study of #earthquakes, #volcanoes and #evolution.”
Also a reminder that this paradigm shift in the #geosciences did not happen that long ago!

This side project started on the bird app pre-covid, but turned out be pretty fun and useful during home office, lockdowns and quarantine and got more attention than I imagined. 😁 Just keep your eyes open and look out for geology around you, no matter if at home or in the city. Tiles, windowsills, countertops etc. made out of beautiful #rocks and fossils - share your findings and use the hashtag #UrbanGeology. #geology #fossils #earthsciences #Geosciences #scicomm
