Learn how hundreds of “sinkites,” all around a kilometer across, are altering the strata in the North Sea.

Normally, younger rocks are deposited above older ones, forming predictable geologic layers. In the North Sea, this process ...

A massive, slow-moving heat anomaly is rising beneath the surface of New England, and it’s challenging long-held assumptions ...

Sinkites reveal inverted subsurface structures and may affect carbon storage strategies. Their formation remains under active investigation. Scientists have identified hundreds of massive sand formati ...

Next comes the mantle, the thickest layer, which makes up 67% of the Earth's mass. Then there is a liquid outer core, comprised mostly of iron and nickel.

In red rock country the Earth’s crust has been pushed up by the collision of two tectonic plates, lifting the land in one large block. Doug explores the rocks layers laid bare by eroding forces ...

Seismologists might have identified the deepest layer of Earth’s core The so-called 'innermost inner core' could become the latest addition to geology textbooks. Jack Izzo Feb 28, 2023 3:30 PM EST ...

When the famed explorer John Wesley Powell bumped, splashed and thrashed his way down the Colorado River in 1869, he discovered one of the most striking geologic features on Earth.

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research ...

It’s a fantastical place. ” The Middle Earth DEM was first used in Bailey’s spring, 2017 Structural Geology class. Students executed virtual treks across the Cape of Andrast. Andrast is a kind of an ...
