Sandstone arches and other striking landforms are the showpieces of national parks around the globe. Experiments and numerical analyses show that they result from a self-organization process that ...

An odd, previously unseen landform could provide a window into the geological history of Mars, according to new research by geologists. They call the structures periodic bedrock ridges.

Deposition is the opposite of erosion, so it's where sediments like soil, sand, or rocks are added to a place moved there by things like wind or water. These processes change coastal landscapes ...

McMillan sees telltale signs of wind erosion on Mars landmarks like the Gale Crater and Mount Sharp, and evidence of mega yardangs and landforms similar to those found in the Salina del Fraile. “This ...

In this series, we're going to explore some of Australia's landscapes and landforms. ... With the ongoing erosion from the waves and wind, these will one day disappear too.
