Be sure to watch GMSA@9 on Wednesdays, when KSAT Meteorologist Sarah Spivey demonstrates and explains the science behind it.

The emergence of plate tectonics in the late 1960s led to a paradigm shift from fixism to mobilism of global tectonics, providing a unifying context for the previously disparate disciplines of Earth ...

Ancient plate tectonics in the Archean period differs from modern plate tectonics in the Phanerozoic period because of the higher mantle temperatures inside the early Earth, the thicker basaltic crust ...

When plate tectonics emerged in the 1960s it became a unifying theory, “the first global theory ever to be generally accepted in the entire history of earth science,” writes Harvard University science ...

New finding contradicts previous assumptions about the role of mobile plate tectonics in the development of life on Earth. Moreover, the data suggests that 'when we're looking for exoplanets that ...

Unbelievably ancient crystals suggest plate tectonics started earlier than we thought. Plus, the little-known anti-science movement that spawned a thousand conspiracies and why faecal transplants are ...

Europa Plate Tectonics Jupiter's moon Europa may have an active system of plate tectonics, according to a new study. The findings reported in the journal Nature Geoscience, would make the ice moon the ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Robyn Williams: In Perth we have a leading geologist who came originally from Germany. His name is Klaus Regenauer-Lieb and he has just scored a cover story in the journal Nature. It's about the way ...

The cycling of water within Earth's interior regulates plate tectonics, volcanism, ocean volume, and climate stability, ...

The world's highest mountain system may have reached 60% of its current elevation before the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates crashed into each other, giving the peaks an extra push. Researchers ...

The phenomenon of plate tectonics, previously thought to exist only on Earth also occurs beneath the surface of Mars, a scientist has claimed. The phenomenon of plate tectonics, previously thought to ...
