New models suggest that Europa has very little tectonic activity at its seafloor, which is potentially catastrophic news for ...

Researchers have identified an ancient tectonic fragment, the Pioneer fragment, buried under the coast, which may exacerbate earthquake hazards associated with the San Andreas and Cascadia faults.

This rift is slowly pulling the African continent apart, and over millions of years, it could isolate the eastern portion of ...

THERE’S something odd going on inside Jupiter’s frozen moon Europa. And its presence could dramatically boost the chances there’s alien life under the ice. But the frozen moon of Jupiter is just one ...

Europa might not be the best place to look for alien life in the solar system after all. A new study modeling what the floor of the Jupiter moon's hidden ocean is like concluded that tectonic activity ...

A quiet and slow-moving change is unfolding beneath the surface of East Africa– one that could, over millions of years, reshape not only the continent but the global map as we know it. Scientists ...

NASA researchers have discovered evidence of tectonic activity on Venus by re-examining decades-old radar data. The findings suggest that Venus's surface is fragmented into crustal blocks that shift ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research based on data gathered more than 30 years ago by NASA's Magellan mission.

The tectonic plates of our planet are moving - slowly, and constantly. We usually only notice when it results in earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions. But a lot of tectonic activity occurs below the ...
