There's a lot more to Earth than meets the eye. Far from being just a roundish rock barreling through space, our planet is composed of several layers held together by intense forces of gravity.

New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million years ago and subsequently buried beneath a thick layer of mud ...

Researchers rotated each piece 180 degrees relative to the layer above and below. They employed an approach called quasi-phase-matching, which alters the properties of light in a way that allows for ...

Among them, the CAOB of East Asia is the most complete and largest accretionary orogenic belt in the world and contains key information for cutting-edge earth science ... Interpretation diagram of the ...
