They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape such as corries. Glaciers also deposit material to ...

Rootless cones are small volcanic landforms ranging from several to several hundred meters in diameter, formed by continuous ...

Scientists have now discovered landforms created during the MPT, as glaciers retreated across what is now the North Sea. The new study relied on seismic data to locate possible areas for fossil ...

Using syrup and baking soda, research at Niigata University has demonstrated the formation mechanism of rootless cones, small ...

A study has revealed there are certain activities on the moon's surface that can likely negate the postulation of “lunar body ...

New research reveals that the moon's surface may still be changing, challenging previous beliefs of it being geologically dead.
