• Huge Rare-Earth Mineral Deposits Found in Pacific

TOKYO -- Vast deposits of rare-earth minerals, crucial in making high-tech electronics products, have been found on the floor of the Pacific Ocean and can be readily extracted, Japanese scientists said on Monday. The deposits have a heavy concentration of rare earths. Just one square kilometer (0.4 square mile) of deposits will be able to provide one-fifth of the current global annual consumption," said Yasuhiro Kato, an associate professor of earth science at the University of Tokyo.

• Liquids May Delay, Promote Earthquakes, Scientists Say ; 'Silent Slips' Found in Japan, Northwest

WASHINGTON - Liquids under high pressure deep beneath the Earth's surface allow some faults to move in a slow, gradual way, potentially delaying earthquakes in some areas but increasing the threat elsewhere, according to a study. A "silent slip" is caused by a pocket of high-pressure fluid in the deepest part of a fault where two rock masses grind together, Shuichi Kodaira and colleagues report in a paper in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
