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

The rocks on Earth are constantly changing due to many different processes. There are three main types of rock, with rocks changing between each type over millions of years. This rock recycling is ...

to a dramatic shift in Earth's climate and weathering cycle. According to a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an estimated five kilometers (3 miles) of rock ...

This meant that the “geological carbon cycle” would be a thermostat that regulated the Earth’s temperature. During chemical weathering, rocks could then suck up CO2 when some minerals were ...

Enhanced rock weathering aims to replicate a natural part of Earth’s carbon cycle: Silicate rock, such as volcanic basalt, is ...

Rivers began pumping weathered material into the sea about a billion years after Earth formed, suggesting continents may have gotten an early start.
