Towering above the Utah plateau at10,000 feet, the cliffs and canyon walls of Cedar Breaks National Monument reveal a story ...

Ground fissures and tectonic faults represent critical structural features within sedimentary basins, where the interplay of regional stress fields, depositional environments and, at times, human ...

Plate tectonics, the geologic process responsible for creating the Earth's continents, mountain ranges, and ocean basins, may be an on-again, off-again affair. Scientists have assumed that the ...

Harris is a notable geologist for two reasons: First, she discovered that the fossils of prehistoric eels could be used to determine where oil could be found, helping start the American oil boom of ...

The study of Structural Geology and Tectonics concerns the deformation of the Earth's crust and mantle. The scale of observation can be from the submicroscopic level to a mountain chain like the Rocky ...
