Sedimentary rock is one of the three main rock groups (along with igneous and metamorphic rocks) and is formed in four main ways: by the deposition of the weathered remains of other rocks (known as ...

Sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of older rocks (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary) and organic remains (shells, bone, etc.). When rocks break apart from erosion they are transported by ...

This article discusses a study published in Nature that reveals the previously underestimated contribution of geological weathering of carbon-rich sedimentary rocks to the global carbon cycle. The ...

The Rock Cycle is Earth's great recycling process where igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks can all be derived from and form one another. Analogous to recycling a Coke can, where an old can ...

This is one of our most important topics of the semester. Plan to read this material now and review it again a few times in the second half of the semester. We will be doing quite a lot of work in ...

Geological investigations of low-temperature young deposits on the Styrian Erzberg provide paleoclimatology with new data on the Earth's history and its development. How has the climate changed in the ...

New research from USC shows that variations in underground temperature and sediment thickness segment the Main Marmara Fault ...

Statistical methods find wide application in geology, especially in the study of textures and composition of sedimentary rocks. Certain apparent irregularities in the data, such as highly skewed ...

Human activity has significantly altered the earth’s landscape — so much so that many scientists have said the planet began a new geological chapter called the Anthropocene era. Many of these changes ...
