The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like plate ...

Abstract Spatial and temporal patterns in the sedimentary record are controlled by a wide range of forcing mechanisms. Macrostratigraphy uses the temporal ranges of gap‐bound rock packages, compiled ...

A team of scientists from the University of Manchester has discovered hundreds of enormous sand structures beneath the seabed of the North Sea that appear to contradict fundamental principles of ...

No work on any science has yet been published in our language more exhaustive of facts, more clear in statement, or more philosophical in general character and arrangement, than Dana’s “ Mineralogy,” ...

Scientists observed that the Indian Plate, situated underneath Tibet, is undergoing significant changes, which lead to its division into two components. Scientists observed the tectonic plate split ...

What is Basic Petroleum Geology? For all practical purposes it closely resembles the freshman level course that a non-science major at a university would take to satisfy the science requirement.
