The big-picture geologic process that is operating under the Colorado Plateau here is the process of subduction, so I really need to draw you a graphic to show you how the subduction process works.

Explore the fascinating process of relative dating of rock layers, a crucial method used by geologists to determine the ...

Scientists have finally solved a long-standing mystery about the geologic process behind these large pieces of gold found in quartz rock.

Geoscientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) and Istanbul Technical University have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas of Earth's ...
