Seismic waves from earthquakes have always offered a window into Earth’s hidden interior. For decades, researchers believed ...

Plate tectonics is geology’s Theory of Everything. The realisation in the 1960s that Earth’s crust is made of fragments ...

New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...

Two continents collided millions of years ago, forming a bridge that changed Earth's climate system and triggered one of ...

A hidden continent existed under Greenland's ice. Scientists found this lost continental fragment. It is called the Davis ...

Learn how a computer simulation demonstrates that tectonic activity may be less slow and steady than previously thought.

The finding also helps us understand plate tectonics. The continent formed millions of years ago. It was part of a rift system between Greenland and Canada. Image credits: Canva In a surprising ...

What roils beneath Earth's surface may feel a world away, but the activity can help forge land masses that dictate ocean ...

Around 10,000 years ago as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading in ...

Geologists have made a groundbreaking discovery: the Indian Plate is splitting, with a portion peeling away and sinking into the Earth's mantle. This delamination process, previously undetected, could ...
