The findings describe a previously unknown part of the geological carbon cycle in transform faults that represent one of the three principal plate boundaries on Earth. The confluence of ...

Fifty-six million years ago, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), global temperatures rose by more than 5°C ...

A geological study by University of Nebraska ... in recent decades has confirmed that major changes in the global carbon cycle caused significant changes in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans ...

Earth’s surface tells a complex story, shaped not only by visible forces like tectonics and erosion but also by hidden mantle ...

A new study suggests that Mars may have once had an active carbon cycle, which could explain why the planet was warmer and wetter billions of years ago. Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s ...

The geological carbon cycle is far slower. Carbonates in places like the Hajar will be stable for hundreds of millions of years. The Fujairah experiments are part of a nascent planet-wide effort ...

This means that the “geological carbon cycle” acts as a thermostat that helps to regulate the Earth’s temperature. For instance, during chemical weathering rocks can suck up CO 2 when ...

The geological carbon cycle also helps regulate the planet’s temperature. During chemical weathering–when chemicals in rainwater change the minerals in the rock— the stones can suck up ...

The satellite, named Biomass, launched with a rocket from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, New Guinea, and separated from the rocket less than an hour after launch, the ESA said in a news release. About ...
