Nothing says ‘Earth Science’ like a good outcrop, so to mark #EarthScienceWeek ⚒️🧪 (13-19 Oct) let’s explore ‘Earth Science Everywhere’ with daily outcrops. We’ll visit famous outcrops, some personal favourites and learn of outcrops in big stories about the environment and how the Earth works. 1/6

Outcrops are where the rocks or sediments below the surface are visible without digging – mostly, some of the best outcrops are human-made (thanks road engineers!). Outcrops attract attention because they are like windows into the rocks and sediments recording the Earth’s past. 2/6
