Learn about the movement of tectonic plates off the coast of northern California, a process that could incite major ...

Earthquakes and volcanism occur as a result of plate tectonics. The movement of tectonic plates themselves is largely driven by the process known as subduction. The question of how new active ...

Tiny earthquakes have revealed potentially deadly hidden faults beneath California. By tracking swarms of very small tremors, ...

New research on the remixing of Earth's stratified deep interior suggests that global plate tectonic processes, which played a pivotal role in the existence of life on Earth, started to operate at ...

TORONTO, ON - Geoscientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) and Istanbul Technical University have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas ...

By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San ...

A study led by Prof. Yong-Fei Zheng at University of Science and Technology of China focused on the development of tectonic processes along convergent plate margins through inspection of recent ...

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

Tremors beneath Northern California show hidden plate movement, helping scientists better understand where future big ...

An early form of plate tectonics on a hotter young Earth may have been responsible for the initial rise of the Earth’s great landmasses and even for an increase in atmospheric oxygen levels, new ...
