The North Sea, a region known for its rich history and vital role in energy production, holds a surprising geological anomaly. A study led by scientists from the University of Manchester has uncovered ...

Far out in the Atlantic, Bermuda rises from the ocean as if it’s breaking the rules of geology. It sits on a broad hump in ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Usually, geologic layers build on one another, with younger rocks piling on top of older ones. A new study, however, shows that this process is ...

Geology in our middle Colorado River watershed isn’t a simple affair, but it’s not remarkably complicated or incredibly obscure, either. It follows the general principles of geology, with young layers ...

Microplastics! They’re in everything, from our bodies to the ocean. And apparently they’re even found in sediment layers that date back as early as the first half of the 1700s, showing microplastics’ ...

Scientists have discovered an unusually thick rock layer, approximately 20 kilometers deep, beneath the Bermuda Triangle.

Scientists have uncovered a massive, never-seen-before rock layer deep beneath Bermuda, offering fresh clues to the island’s ...

A mural titled "The Origin of Life on Earth" at NASA Ames Research Center. The mural depicts the formation of our planet and the conditions that led to the evolution of life. NASA Ames/David J. Des ...

Researchers have zeroed in on nine sites that could describe a new geological time, marked by pollution and other signs of human activity. Geologists could soon decide which spot on Earth marks the ...

Near the center of a Martian crater about the size of Connecticut, hundreds of exposed rock layers form a mound as tall as the Rockies and reveal a record of major environmental changes on Mars ...

Destabilizing the precarious equilibrium at depth with geothermal wells may reactivate the geological layers causing earthquakes. Researchers have studied the seismic activity linked to a geothermal ...
