Other forces that also contributed to the formation of the Grand Canyon are; volcanism, continental drift, some vibrations in the orbit of the earth and many others. This is what caused the layers of rocks [...]

The rate at which the pacific plate undergoes displacement is at eight to nine centimeter per annum, hence the plate subduction of the plate led to a discharge of large amounts of energy leading to [...]

If movement occurs in the lower layers of the earth the surface of the earth is disrupted as the displacement is experienced all the way to the top.

Plate tectonics has led to the separation of the sea floor over the years and the earth is composed of seven tectonic plates according to the available geological information.

The urgency of the research presented in Simulation of adsorption of gold nanoparticles carried by gas ascending from the Earth's interior in alluvial cover of the middle lower reaches of the Yangtze River is connected [...]

The main purpose of the initiated research was to determine the relative degree of influence of wave action and lithological type of the rocks on the sea cliff mass movements in Central Algarve Coast in [...]

The earthquake was accompanied by a great tsunami given the high magnitude of the earthquake that reached 9. The third disaster was the meltdown of a number of nuclear plants following the tsunami.

The seismic activity and the relatively regular sequence of the earthquakes in the area of San Paul Fault generated the interest of the geologists in exploring the processes in the rupture.

An earthquake is a dangerous tremor that is caused by sudden release of energy in the crust of the earth leading to seismic waves that cause movements of the ground thus causing deaths and damages.

The fragments of rock with ice pass through the surface of the earth causing change of the landscape. The processes of sedimentation lead to formation of different kinds of rocks after the eroded materials dissolve [...]

Since, according to the above-mentioned information, natural earthquakes are most common in the places where the edges of tectonic plates meet, it is reasonable to suggest that earthquakes are most common in the countries that [...]

The processes that lead to the sculpting of the surface of the Earth have been attributed to the violent collisions that exist between the tectonic plates and the fragments of the rocky outer shell that [...]

The gravitational and conventional forces beneath the surface of the Earth forced the crustal layer of the Earth to divide and drift apart forming the presently existing continents.

The rocks, the trees, and the animals found in the Grand Canyon National Park, and the general nature of this place has seen it make visitors come to the region several times.

In spite of the fact that Kyanite, andalusite, and sillimanite are polymorphs, their environments of formation are different. Kyanite and its polymorphs can be represented in the phase diagram below to demonstrate how pressure and [...]

We shall dwell on the Shifts in the Tectonic plates as the reasoning behind the Tsunamis, but we have to understand the concept involved in the movement of the plate tectonics then how the earthquake [...]

Such an earthquake is caused by a combination of tectonic plate movement and movement of magma in the earth's crust. Continental drift is the motion of the Earth's tectonic plates relative to each other.

Owing to the importance of this soil it is therefore important to analyze the causes of its erosion, its effects and how it can be managed."The history of the erosion of Palouse soils can be [...]

Some of the possible risks associated with complete reliance of fossil energy to run the economy, security and welfare of the United States are its depletion and the inability to renew fossil energy.

However, bigger organisms in the soil help in proper soil aeration and formation of a good soil structure hence, improving on the water retention abilities of the soil.

The third class of sedimentary rocks is chemical sedimentary rocks; rocks that form because of super-saturation and precipitation of dissolved minerals.

Deep sea volcanoes are present under deep sea ridges of the ocean floor and the above research has been based on the amount of carbon dioxide that is present in depths of four kilometers on [...]
