Bands of soft rock such as clay and sand are weaker and therefore they can be eroded quickly. This process forms bays. A bay is an inlet of the sea where the land curves inwards, usually with a ...

Cliffs close cliffA vertical rock face. along the coastline do not erode at the same pace. A cliff is a steep rock face. When a stretch of coastline is formed from different types of rock ...

The presence of white rocks on Mars is particularly intriguing due to the planet's predominantly basaltic crust, which is ...

During its recent exploration of the crater rim, Perseverance diverted to explore a strange, scattered field of bright white ...

There is no scientific evidence giants have ever existed, though archaeological and modern records show humans with a rare condition called gigantism are real. Gigantism, or pituitary gigantism, ...

They are the dunes closest to the shoreline, dynamically linked to beach processes, and significantly influenced by wave action as both a constructional and erosional force. Foredunes develop at ...

Present-day erosional and hydrologic processes in mountain environments and in mass wasting and slope development. Nel Caine grew up in the northern England where he attended the University of Leeds ...

In granites, water flows predominantly along fractures created by tectonic, thermal and erosional events. However, porosity and fracture density is generally low in the majority of the rock mass ...

The hillsides within the park reveal layer upon layer of earth’s history. Here is where the mystery comes in: erosional forces have wiped away softer upper layers from most of the park’s hills. The ...

The primary sizing criterion for multiphase flow pipelines is erosional velocity, which should be kept below the known fluid erosional velocity. However, the sizing of pipelines for multiphase flow is ...

In the Arctic, landslide-like features known as mega retrogressive thaw slumps are threatening infrastructure, altering regional biogeochemistry, and emitting carbon. Sometimes eroding more than 1 ...

These outstanding examples of cone karst owe their existence and uniqueness to several interacting geological, biological, erosional and climatic phenomena. Description is available under license ...
