Scientists found that thawing permafrost can trigger increased rock weathering, a natural process that absorbs CO2 from the ...

Geoscientists have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas of Earth's crust long before it should be geologically altered by known plate-boundary ...

Gold has always been a hot commodity. But these days, finding a nugget isn’t too tricky: Much of the world’s gold is mined from natural veins of quartz, a glassy mineral that streaks through large ...

Titan's windswept dunes may sprawl millions of more kilometers than previously thought and were likely formed by geological processes similar to those on Earth, according to a new study. The new ...

Esti Ukar (left) and Toti Larson are leading a project to produce geologic hydrogen from rocks. They are both researchers at the Bureau of Economic Geology, a research unit of the UT Jackson School of ...

Although dolomite is relatively plentiful in rocks older than 100 million years, scientists have been unable to replicate the geologic process in the lab—until now. Using a transmission electron ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Earth is a planet full of mysteries. There are so many strange yet fascinating geological phenomena that just seem impossible to ...

The water pressure of a river can cut deep into a riverbed. Sediments from the riverbed are carried downstream, creating a deep, narrow channel. This process, known as downcutting, represents the ...
