Over the last 3,800 years, agro-pastoral activities have accelerated alpine soil erosion at a pace four to 10 times faster ...

Learn about the processes of weathering and erosion and how it influences our planet.

Chemical weathering can control how susceptible bedrock in river beds is to erosion, according to new research. In addition to explaining how climate can influence landscape erosion rates, the ...

Gather your supplies! This episode is about erosion and weathering. We will use sand and rocks to simulate what happens after a river flood.

Elegant arches, pillars and alcoves carved out of sandstone through erosion, are actually caused by the load above the sandstone strengthening the rock beneath to resist weathering, a new study finds.

Rivers are Earth's arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from ...

Which forces and mechanisms determine the height of mountains? A group of researchers has now found a surprising answer: It is not erosion and weathering of rocks that determine the upper limit of ...

It illustrates how removing vegetation leads to soil erosion, water runoff, and a decline in underground water levels, ultimately creating man-made deserts.

However, lead author of the new study Jiří Bruthans, a geologist at Charles University in Prague, and his colleagues did not think erosion and weathering alone could explain how many of these ...

They report in the journal Science that the same erosion process could be a source of carbon dioxide, releasing it into the atmosphere far faster that it can be absorbed by the newly exposed rock.

Chemical weathering can control how susceptible bedrock in river beds is to erosion, according to new research. In addition to explaining how climate can influence landscape erosion rates, the ...
