Sand waves are one of many sediment-related phenomena at Lake Powell. They form in water containing a high percentage of sediment when the river’s bottom isn’t perfectly flat.

Scientists at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh have discovered massive underwater sediment waves made of mud and sand around 400 kilometers (248 miles) off the coast of Guinea-Bissau using ...

Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

Tidal sand waves are a key geomorphological feature of shallow, sandy continental shelves, generated by the interplay of tidal currents, non-tidal hydrodynamic processes, and sediment dynamics.

Made of mud and sand, these massive underwater sediment waves lie around 3,280 feet below the seabed, researchers reported in a new study. They were formed in the "Equatorial Atlantic Gateway ...

As seismic waves travel through the basin, their behaviour changes when they encounter the loose sediment. "[The wave] is now having to travel at a much slower speed, but it still has to carry the ...

According to geologists at the UK’s Heriot Watt University, gigantic waves of mud and sand sediment about 250 miles off the coast of Guinea-Bissau in West Africa indicate the Atlantic Ocean ...
