Exfoliation Geomorphology Pebble Weathering
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of nature's weathering process. A close-up view reveals a pebble adorned with onion skin weathering, creating a mesmerizing pattern that tells the story of time and erosion. The delicate layers resembling onion skins are evidence of exfoliation, a geological phenomenon where outer layers peel away due to constant exposure to natural elements. This particular desert pebble has endured years of wind, sand, and sun in its arid environment, resulting in this stunning display of nature's artistry. The image serves as a reminder of the power and resilience found in even the smallest fragments of our planet. It highlights the significance of geology and geomorphology in shaping our landscapes over millions of years. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into an ancient world where forces beyond our control have sculpted every inch of Earth's surface. The texture and colors captured here evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about the mysteries hidden within rocks and stones. Science Photo Library once again provides us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the wonders that surround us daily but often go unnoticed. Through their lens, they remind us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties present in our natural world – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye.
