    Ozone Pollution Triggers Phase 1 Contingency in Mexico Valley

    Ozone pollution in the Mexico Valley Metropolitan Area reached very poor air quality levels, leading the Megalopolis Environmental Commission (CAMe) to activate Phase 1 of the environmental contingency. This includes restrictions on vehicular circulation and various productive sectors for Sunday, September 13. A high-pressure system caused the accumulation of pollutants, with high and continuous solar radiation adding to the problem. The contingency affects vehicles with specific holograms and license plate endings, while exemptions include electric and hybrid vehicles, those with an ecological license plate, and emergency services.

    Earth's Crust 'Unzipping' Beneath Italy's Apennines

    An international team of researchers has discovered that the Earth's crust beneath Italy's Apennine Mountains is gradually delaminating, causing simultaneous stretching and compression. This process, known as delamination, occurs when the lower crust and part of the lithosphere separate and descend towards the Earth's mantle. The study, published in Nature, provides a unified explanation for the previously puzzling geological activity in the region.

    Ukraine Concentrates Troops and Ammunition Near Chernobyl NPP

    Ukraine is transporting ammunition and deploying troops to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant area, according to multiple reports from Russian law enforcement agencies and news outlets. The troops and equipment are being accompanied by mobile fire groups, and radio electronic warfare and protection systems are being set up in these areas.

    First Adult Tyrannosaurus Rex Footprints Discovered in North Dakota

    A team of scientists from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Liverpool John Moores University has identified the first known series of footprints of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex. The track, discovered in the Hell Creek geological formation in southwestern North Dakota, consists of four footprints (two left and two right) measuring approximately 91 cm in length and spaced about 3.96 meters apart. The footprints, dated 66.5 million years old, allow for the estimation of the animal's speed, calculated to be between 5.6 to 7.2 km/h, similar to a person walking briskly. This discovery provides valuable insights into the behavior and locomotion of the iconic dinosaur.
