Geologists confirm that industrial waste turns into rock in just 35 years, challenging traditional ideas about geological formation.

On Earth, our familiar carbonate is calcite (calcium carbonate), forming vast limestone deposits. This is a cornerstone of Earth's long-term carbon cycle: volcanic CO2 enters the atmosphere, dissolves ...

Industrial waste is turning into rock in "decades", much faster than the millions of years it is thought to take for it to form naturally, according to research carried out along the Cumbrian coast.

Gather your supplies! In this episode we will use everyday materials to create a model of the rock cycle and explore the three different categories of rock.

This 1930s educational film explores the natural landscapes, geological formations, and agricultural practices of the time. It features scenes of farmers tilling soil, majestic mountain roads ...
