Is this an Inter-Dimensional Portal created by @DrStrange?🌀

Not really, it's Richat structure, in Mauritana!

A 40 km-diameter circular structure, almost resembling an ammonite fossil, easier to spot from space than from Earth.

But what caused it?

Researchers suggest that it was the uplift of a large dome of molten rock that, once at the surface, was shaped by wind and water into what we see today.

Concentric bands of resistant quartzite rocks form ridges, with valleys of less-resistant rock between them.

RT @EU_ECHA: As of today, there is a ban on loose glitter and microbeads as part of the restriction on #microplastics in products.

For other uses, such as cosmetics and detergents, the ban applies later.

The restriction, developed by #ECHA, reduces microplastic pollution by 500 000 tonnes.

Our hearts ache for all the people of the Middle East.

We call on the international community to redouble its efforts to reduce humanitarian suffering and protect innocent people. Targeting of civilians is a war crime, no matter who does it.

RT @BigDrFishBoi: Projects like this are a great step towards bringing policymakers up to speed with the threat invasive species pose.

We often complain that climate change hogs all the limelight - large international efforts like this help invasive species get a bit of that attention.

The laid-out version of the Summary for Policymakers of the @IPBES #InvasiveAlienSpecies Report is OUT NOW! 💥

RT @stopEACOP: This is an important observation. We refuse attempts at sidelining the voices of civil society and communities most impacted by #climatechange. The transition to #RenewableEnergy demands inclusivity and representation. #StopEACOP!

💸Money talks!

At $2000, the tickets to the #AfricaEnergyWeek are a stark reminder that big corporations and governments with vested interest have no desire to engage with civil society and communities most affected by #climatechange. #RenewableEnergy - Don't Gas Africa
