India’s tectonic plate may be splitting into layers beneath Tibet, revealing mantle helium leaks and reshaping theories of ...

Watch the Earth's tectonic plates grow, shrink, and jostle for position in this new model of the last billion years on the ...

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

Scientists have discovered an unusually thick mantle transition zone beneath the Lesser Antilles. This discovery sheds new light on how oceanic plates sink into the Earth's mantle. Variations ...

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 ...

At the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the melting of massive glaciers may have done more than just raise ...

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

Lake sediment cores in Guatemala reveal directional ground shaking from the 1976 earthquake, offering rare insight into ...

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 ...
