Researchers simulated temperature trends and tectonic plate movement to monitor their impact on mammals. Supercomputer simulation shows that climate extremes are likely to drive land mammal extinction ...

Activity in the mantle makes mountains, moves tectonic plates, and causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Learn more about the thick, active layer that makes our Earth our Earth. In 1970, Russian ...

In a development that could reshape our understanding of tectonic movement, scientists have found massive fractures forming inside the Pacific Plate– the biggest tectonic plate on Earth. The study, ...

For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...
