Beneath the North Sea, scientists have uncovered colossal sand formations, dubbed “sinkites,” that have mysteriously sunk ...

Blobs of rock are dripping off the underside of North America, likely caused by the remnants of a tectonic plate deep in ...

The geological process at work, they said, is called isostatic rebound. It involves the rise of land masses on Earth's crust when the weight of the surface diminishes.

A new international study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters reveals that the boundaries between geological ...

Stratigraphic inversion, or reverse stratigraphy, occurs when younger layers sink down, and the older ones rise to the top of ...

They realized that these pebbles are physical evidence of a mysterious geological process first spotted on the asteroid Bennu by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft: asteroids shooting gravel out into space.

The giant sand bodies beneath the North Sea were named ‘sinkites’ and appeared inverted due to a lesser-known natural process ...

At first, scientists thought they were part of the "geological process" of the beach and were skeptical they could be footprints, but further evaluation suggested they were dinosaur tracks from ...

Geoscientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) and Istanbul Technical University have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas of Earth's ...

But the geologic process that put gold nuggets there in the first place was a mystery. Now, a new study published today in Nature Geoscience has come up with a convincing, and surprising, answer ...

Over a period of three months to three years, compounds like calcium, uric acid and bits of organic matter coalesce into the crystallized structure we know as the kidney stone. This formation process, ...
