Thundereggs look like regular rocks from the outside, but contain intricate and colorful mineral patterns inside — often made ...

Earth is a planet full of mysteries. There are so many strange yet fascinating geological phenomena that just seem impossible to be a reality. From fossilized forests to a gas crater that has burned ...

Mountain building, also known as orogenesis, is a geological process that involves the formation and uplift of large, elevated landforms, known as mountains. The term "orogenesis" comes from Greek ...

Taiwan experiences some of the world's fastest rates of mountain building -- they are growing at a faster rate than our fingernails grow in a year. The mountains also see frequent and significant ...

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like plate ...

Boulder, Colo., USA: Marine and coastal geoscience play a critical role in understanding ancient and modern geological history, offshore and coastal hazards, and climate change. Deep-water ...

The geology and surface processes of Venus continue to intrigue planetary scientists, revealing a dynamic world shaped by volcanic activity, tectonic forces and chemical weathering. Recent ...

Something that I do not hear much about, it that minerals on earth formed via geolocial processes and the water cycle. Since many places in the solar system seem to not have geological processes for ...

For years, scientists have been trying to understand the mechanisms behind the destruction of Earth’s cratons, but results have remained elusive. Now, in a Nature Geoscience study, researchers ...
