Closed lakes are bodies of water that do not drain into an ocean or river. This means that no water flows out of the lake. Instead, water is reduced within the lake via seepage into groundwater or evaporation. Closed lakes are also referred to as endorheic basins. Can a river end in ...
Endorheic lakes are found throughout the globe; major basins are shown in grey above and the largest endorheic lakes are shown in black. (Image from 10). Although many freshwater lakes and rivers drain into the ocean, saline lakes are formed when they are the endpoint to river flow. These...
Water:The most powerful agent, water (in the form of rivers, streams, and ocean currents) can move particles over vast distances. Fast-moving water carries larger particles like pebbles, while slower currents deposit fine clay and silt. The constant motion causes particles to collide, rounding t...

So what happens to the magma formed by these processes? We saw that the magma produced at ocean ridges just hardens to form new crust material, and so doesn't produce spewing land volcanoes. There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land...

The Atlantic Ocean was still young, and the North and South Atlantic basins were shallower and narrower than today. The equatorial gateway between South America and Africa only allowed a shallow, surface-water connection for much of the late Cretaceous period. Active volcanism formed underwater moun...
Because of the retention of stormwater in the Barker and Addicks Reservoirs and the prolonged controlled release of these floodwaters, the Harvey flooding history of Buffalo Bayou is much different than the flooding histories of the other drainage basins within Galveston Bay. The flooding of Buffalo...
