A subduction zone near Cascadia is unraveling piece by piece. The process offers a rare glimpse into how tectonic plates die ...

Earth's Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for ...

Only Earth has jigsaw-like tectonic plates that crash together and pull apart like bumper cars. The other rocky planets in the solar system have a single, rigid shell of crust — a geological ...

With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate dives beneath another—actively breaking apart. The discovery, reported in ...

We are looking at the realistic prospect of a president and taoiseach in Dublin who are prepared to jointly push for ...

In a groundbreaking study published in Science Advances (2025), scientists uncovered a fascinating and unusual process ...

The continents are in constant motion: Tectonic plates crash together and break apart, creating new crust while old crust is pulled below the surface. The process shrinks and widens oceans, uplifts ...

Speaking to PTI, GSI's Deputy Director General Shantanu Bhattacharjee said the volcano was dormant for more than two decades, and the October 2 eruption seemed to have happened due to tectonic ...

Tectonics is the study of the structural geology of the Earth and other planetary bodies, and the local and regional processes that created that rock geometry. This includes the movements of the Earth ...

Cratons are thick and relatively cold, making them very durable during earth’s history. Continents, and their craton cores, ...

One of nature's flaming masterpieces, volcanoes occur more frequently in some nations than others. From the thunderous peaks of the Pacific Ring of Fire to smoldering craters in far-off parts of the ...
