Geologically the Rock of Gibraltar can be interpreted as a klippe,. the eroded remnant of a nappe thrust to its present position during the forming of the Betic-Rif mountains in the late Cenezonic ( between the last 22 and 2 million years ago) which gradually rose from the sea, and it's these land up-l...
The northern shelf of the Santa Barbara basin exposes bedrock at several locations. Folded and faulted strata of the Upper Miocene Monterey and Sisquoc Formations crop out on the shelf south of Goleta, where there are also extensive active hydrocarbon seeps.

Mount Kelud is a volcano on the Indonesian island of Java, near the city of Yogyakarta. It erupts frequently, producing ashfalls and mudflows. The most recent eruption was in 1990. Activity is heightened there now and, fearing an eruption, authorities are preparing to evacuate thousands of peopl...
Watching the stars set from the surface of the Earth may be a romantic pastime but when a spacecraft does it from orbit, it can reveal hidden details about a planets atmosphere. The technique is known as stellar occultation. Jean-Loup Bertaux, Service d'Aeronomie du CNRS, France was the first to su...
