These include weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation. Substances in river water react with minerals in rocks and cause chemical weathering Weathering close weatheringWeathering ...

During chemical weathering, rocks could then suck up CO2 when some minerals were attacked by the weak acid in rainwater. This process could counter the continuous CO2 production from volcanoes and ...

Weathering is the mechanical and chemical hammer that breaks down and sculpts the rocks. Erosion transports the fragments away. Working together they create and reveal marvels of nature from ...

Rivers began pumping weathered material into the sea about a billion years after Earth formed, suggesting continents may have gotten an early start.

A new study in Chile shows how small differences in rock type can drive large differences in erosion, vegetation, and river networks, illuminating the role of mineralogy in shaping landscapes.

A climate intervention strategy called enhanced rock weathering, if applied globally, could help meet a key IPCC goal for slowing climate change, according to new research published in the AGU ...

Soils are the foundation of gardens and landscapes, featuring characteristics that vary among locations in Wisconsin. Success ...
