New research shows that when an asteroid slammed into the moon billions of years ago, it carved out a pair of grand canyons ...

Recent scientific discoveries reveal two extraordinary phenomena that could change our understanding of Earth's hydrology.

Under the Sierra Nevada in California, scientists have observed a rare phenomenon that sheds light on the dynamics of 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 ...

This process releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct. There are alternative methods for producing hydrogen with low or no emissions, such as splitting water using solar or wind power, but these can be ...

However, there is no evidence of plate subduction—a geological process in which one tectonic plate is forced beneath another as they converge at a plate boundary—anywhere near this region.

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

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 ...

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

Similarly, a recent geological process is causing the African continent to split into two. This rift, identified approximately six years ago, has since been extensively studied to determine its ...
