This zone plays a crucial role in various environmental processes, including weathering, which is the breakdown of rocks and minerals. Recent research has focused on understanding the dynamics of ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent ...

A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S.

Magnesium isotope geochemistry is an important field of study that helps scientists understand weathering processes and their implications for the environment. Weathering, the process by which ...

Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous ... The ice melts and water makes its way deeper into the cracks. The process repeats itself until the rock splits entirely.

A recent study that was led by the University of Oxford overturned the view that natural rock weathering removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It revealed that this process could be a ...

Exposed rocks along the coastline can be broken down by the processes of weathering. Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous (contain holes) or permeable (allow water to pass through).

A new study has revealed a new approach to help the US meet its Net Zero target by 2050; this new innovative solution ...

The LEGO Group is investing more than £2m in four carbon removal projects with initiatives focusing on rock weathering, reforestation and biochar creation.
