Fifth grade science students have been learning about weathering, erosion and deposition. They were able to see those processes in action by building stream tables thanks to the Altus Trash to ...

Rock strength has a significant impact on erosion and plays an important role in shaping the Earth’s landscapes, according to research led by experts at the University of Toronto Mississauga. In a ...

The harder rock for example, chalk, will erode more slowly forming headlands which jut into the sea. This is called differential erosion. The erosion occurs due to a number of different processes ...

Mysterious micro-burrows in desert marble and limestone were probably made by microbes that lived millions of years ago.
