Granular sediment may behave as a strong, rock-like material owing to the following mechanisms that stabilize sediment fabric 21: capillary cohesion from interfacial tension caused by partial water ...

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the previous 41,000-year cycle. Scientists have now discovered landforms created ...

Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost 1 km of mud in the North Sea. The results suggest that the landforms were produced about 1 million years ago, when an ...

Great escarpments can be found in southern Africa, India, Brazil and Australia The mystery of how some of the Earth's most dramatic landforms came into being has been solved, scientists believe.

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Hi, I'm Shona. I'm the Education and Outreach Manager at Geoscience Australia. Geoscience Science ...

For decades, scientists have been curious about how much water Mars once had and what led to its gradual transformation into ...

Wind causes waves to be produced in the water. These can cause erosion of the coast. Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along ...

New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million years ago and subsequently buried beneath a thick layer of mud. When you ...
