Himalaya, represents a continuous geological record from the Jurassic to Eocene period (≈201 to 34 million years ago).

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 ...

The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

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 ...

Evaluation of landforms, soils, and deposits formed by active tectonics is providing basic data necessary for long-term earthquake prediction, seismic-hazard evaluation, and probabilistic seismic-risk ...

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 ...

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 ...
