Hinkley Point C in the United Kingdom is where a big nuclear power station is being built. It's the first of its kind in the UK and it's being constructed by EDF Energy in Somerset. This power station will produce a lot of electricity, enough to power millions of homes.                                                          Image courtesy of EDF Energy               Right now, the focus is on digging up the ground to prepare for building. They need to move a huge amount of dirt, about 5.5 million cubic meters, to make space for the power station's foundations. The digging area is divided into more than 50 sections, each at different levels. One tricky part is the type of rock they're digging into. It's not just regular rock; it's a mix of mudstone and limestone with cracks in it. This makes it important...

Ever wonder how geologists track tiny movements on Earth's surface? Satellites are like eyes in the sky that help us keep an eye on Earth's movements. They use special tools like cameras and sensors to monitor things like the changing weather, the movements of the land, and even the growth of plants. By orbiting around the Earth, satellites can capture images and data from different angles and locations. This information helps geologists' study and understand natural processes such as climate change, earthquakes, and even the way cities expand over time. So, satellites play a vital role in helping us watch and understand how Earth moves and changes over time. Satellites help us watch Earth move using a technology called InSAR . It's like a radar in space that takes pictures of the ground over time. These pictures show if the Earth's surface is shifting even a tiny bit, like by a millimeters . Companies like Maxwell GeoSystems (MGS) use InSAR to monitor things li...
