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 ...

Objective: As a result of this activity, students be able to describe and demonstrate how different major geological processes shape the physical environment of the earth. Videotape of "Falconer's ...

When First Atlantic Nickel and Cobalt Corp. began assessing its clean nickel deposit in central Newfoundland, it also had its ...

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 ...

Scientists say they might have figured out why the geological process of rocks rising and sinking in the Earth's molten core has suddenly stopped. Using computer simulations, researchers examined the ...
