Dehydration can cause rocks to crack and trigger earthquakes, and over geologic timescales, this water cycling can influence ... The formation of Earth's continents billions of years ago set the ...

a phenomenon known as ‘craton destruction’ or ‘decratonization’, a geological process essential in the Earth’s evolution. IGGCAS researchers showed that the vigorous crust deformation ...

Dating key tectonic events in Japan's geological history has long been often challenging due to poor microfossil preservation ...

Nuclear Waste Services says that it has selected areas for detailed studies of suitability within each of the three ...

Ridge subduction is an important geological process that triggers volcanic activity, thermal metamorphism (the alteration of rocks by heat), and hydrothermal activity (chemical reactions between ...

This process releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct. There are alternative methods for producing hydrogen with low or no ...

Researchers develop a novel methodology called Roughness-CANUPO-Dip-Facet (R-C-D-F), which leverages machine learning to ...

First, the populations become physically separated, often by a long, slow geological process like an uplift of land, the movement of a glacier, or formation of a body of water. Next, the separated ...

Scientists have discovered a way to produce ammonia—a key ingredient in fertilizers—by harnessing the Earth’s heat and ...
