In a recent study, researchers show that a natural record - sediments packed together at basin margins - offers scientists a powerful tool for understanding the forces that shaped our planet over ...

The Central Anatolian Plateau, with its sweeping landscapes of high mountains and low-relief interiors, has puzzled ...

Rising mountains do more than reshape the landscape – they also drive evolutionary change, according to a new study. By simulating millions of years of tectonic uplift, researchers have uncovered a ...

Parts of the Appalachian Mountains got a relatively recent face-lift, compliments of the Earth's mantle, a new study suggests. The Cullasaja River basin, part of the southern Appalachians in western ...

How does a mountain range maintain its youthful, rugged appearance after 200 million years without tectonic activity? Try a geological facelift – courtesy of the earth's mantle. Researchers from North ...

The Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet, one of the deepest canyons in the world, formed when tectonic forces pushed up the earth and steepened the path of a river that then caused massive erosion, a new study ...

A new study co-authored by researchers at Indiana University sheds light on how the forces that shape mountain ranges also influence the evolution of species. In the study, "Direct effects of mountain ...
