I'd like to highlight a few more points regarding the use of "Atomic Bombs" by America for the first time in human history. The Americans had conducted aerial bombardments on dozens of Japanese cities in the first six months of 1945. There were only a few cities that hadn't suffered from these highly destructive bombings, and "Hiroshima" and "Nagasaki" were among them. This was a matter of great curiosity for the residents of these two cities. The Americans had discreetly set aside the cities they
The Rowley Shelf, the southern half of the tropical, carbonate-dominated, North West Shelf of Australia, is covered with linear ridges that can be tracked parallel to the coast over 1100 km between the modern coast and the 140 m isobath. Here, we investigate the origin and nature of these ridges based on the integration of extensive borehole data, high-resolution geophysical data, age dating and compaction analysis. Our investigation reveals that each ridge consists of now-submerged relict coastal deposits that were formed over the last 200,000 years through wave, tidal, fluvial and aeolian processes. These features were dominantly preserved through early diagenesis and illustrate the longest continuous submerged palaeoshorelines reported to date. The distribution of relict coastal features, and therefore early diagenesis, controls the morphology of the continental shelf. First, relict coastal features tend to be stacked on top of each other, resulting in the formation of composite dia
