Florida ridges' mystery marine fossils tied to rising land, not seas, geologist says Date: June 8, 2010 Source: University of Florida Summary: Sea level has not been as high as the distinctive ...

The earthquake distribution on ultraslow mid-ocean ridges differs fundamentally from other spreading zones. Water circulating at a depth of up to 15 kilometres leads to the formation of rock that ...

This paper presents results of a morphological, sedimentological, and stratigraphical study of relict beach ridges formed on a prograded coastal barrier in Bream Bay, North Island New Zealand. Bream ...

Fossilized hydrology A 3-D image of an impact crater in the Nilosyrtis area on the Martian surface shows long pipe-like ridges, fossilized evidence of ancient subsurface water flow.

Europa, one of Jupiter's four largest moons, is believed to be one of the likeliest places for life beyond Earth.

The new images by the Curiosity rover on Mars show "dramatic evidence" of ancient groundwater in crisscrossing low ridges, NASA said.

During a week in late Octorber 1986 the formation of ridges of pumice by the movement of a mat of the floating fern Salvinia molesta MITCH was studied at the southern shore of Lake Naivasha, Kenya.

The ridges, judging by meteor impact craters, were significantly younger than the surrounding region, suggesting a more recent formation than expected.

Crater counting is used to determine the relative age of a planetary body’s surface, and the researchers were trying to ascertain the age of the ridges on the far-side of the Moon. The reasons ridges ...

By tracking the movement and intensity of both troughs and ridges, meteorologists can make more accurate forecasts, predicting everything from significant temperature shifts to severe weather.
