Earth and Mountains

There are many mountains in the world, and they are found on every continent. Mountain ranges such as the Himalayas, the Andes, the Rockies, the Alps, and the Himalayas comprise numerous peaks and valleys. Additionally, new mountains can be formed through geological processes like tectonic activity, and erosion can also change landscapes over time. The exact number of mountains can vary based on definitions and classifications, but it is understood that there are countless individual mountains worldwide.  Mountains play a significant role in shaping the Earth's surface and influencing its geological and environmental processes, but they don’t directly "keep" the Earth in a specific form. Here are a few ways mountains contribute to the Earth's landscape: 1. Tectonic Activity: Mountains are often  While mountains are crucial to the Earth's geological and biological systems, the Earth's "form" is determined by a combination of various factor...

Observation, simulation, and AI join forces to reveal a clear universe

Astronomers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique to remove noise in astronomical data due to random variations in galaxy shapes. After extensive training and testing on large mock data created by supercomputer simulations, they then applied this new tool to actual data from Japan's Subaru Telescope and found that the mass distribution derived from using this method is consistent with the currently accepted models of the Universe.
