Some areas are naturally more fragile due to the type of rocks present. For example, terrains composed of clays, or soft rocks like marl, quickly...
Marine fossils are simply the remains or imprints of living marine organisms (shells, fish, corals...) that have become trapped and preserved in sediments for a...
Minerals are formed from atoms organized according to a regular pattern called a crystalline structure. In some fluorescent minerals, this structure promotes the temporary storage...
Our Earth's crust is not a fixed structure; it is divided into gigantic pieces called tectonic plates. These plates move slowly across the surface of...
The shape of rivers often begins to be shaped by the slope and the irregularities of the ground. As soon as the ground dips a...
Earthquakes mainly occur when large pieces of the Earth's surface called tectonic plates suddenly move. These plates slowly move against each other, sometimes sliding, or...
When water flows through desert regions, it carries with it various mineral salts from the soils and rocks. When it reaches a basin where it...
The stones that line the beaches generally come from the rocks present in the region, formed a long time ago by various geological phenomena (volcanic...
When temperatures play yo-yo, alternating between freezing and thawing periods, the ground moves subtly. When it freezes, the water underground expands into ice, gently lifting...
Caves are formed when rainwater, slightly acidic, seeps through rock for a long time. This water slowly dissolves certain rocks, especially those composed of limestone, giving rise...
