This picture encapsulates the beauty of a geologic fault -- it's like someone took it from a textbook and slammed it into real life.
Exploring the phenomena of convergent tectonic boundaries in Earth's geology
Discover the energetic process reshaping our planet through divergent boundaries
We only figured out how our planet's geology works a few decades ago -- and we may still have not figured it entirely.
Most waves form due to winds or tides, but tsunamis have a different cause altogether.
Imagine the biggest wave you can imagine. Now make it bigger.
Given the development of California and its proximity to the fault, San Andreas can cause huge problems in the not-too-distant future.
From the god of Hell to mountains in Poland, geological eras have quite diverse inspiration behind their names.
The movement of tectonic plates can sometimes cause the surface of the plane to rumble. But there's more to it.
Seismic waves can either be body waves or surface waves -- but the full story is far more complex.
There're two ways you can find out how supercontinents form. Reading this is the one where you don't have to wait millions of years.
Shaped by erosion, fire, or water, caves have some surprising but always beautiful births.
Sinkholes can be dangerous. Here's what you need to know.
Folds are some of the most common geological phenomena you see in the world – a geological fold occurs when planar (usually sedimentary) layers are curved and/or bent, permanently deformed due to outside pressure. Folds’ sizes can vary from microscopic to mountain-sized, as you can see above. Despite being a fairly simple process (in principle), […]
