Scientists observed that the Indian Plate, situated underneath Tibet, is undergoing significant changes, which lead to its division into two components. Scientists observed the tectonic plate split ...

It was a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists have found previously concealed fault lines along California’s north coast, ...

Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...

Ground fissures and tectonic faults represent critical structural features within sedimentary basins, where the interplay of regional stress fields, depositional environments and, at times, human ...

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.

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

Scientists have traditionally focused on volcanic arcs as the main natural source of atmospheric carbon dioxide. These form ...

Earthquakes are often associated with catastrophic events, but a recent study highlights the significance of tiny tremors in understanding seismic risks. Researchers have uncovered a complex web of ...

Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate has been brought back into view. In one of Earth's most tectonically ...

Recent seismic research has unveiled a fascinating geological phenomenon occurring beneath the Pacific Northwest. The Earth’s crust is tearing apart, a process driven by tectonic forces in the region.

Learn about a new study that uses the data from Magellan to reveal insights into Venus’ ongoing tectonic activity and how it looks a lot like early Earth. NASA’s Magellan mission is one of the most ...
