Under the Sierra Nevada in California, scientists have observed a rare phenomenon that sheds light on the dynamics of the ...

AFRICA is splitting apart at double the speed than scientists first thought. A 35-mile-long crack in Ethiopia’s desert, first ...

However, there is no evidence of plate subduction—a geological process in which one tectonic plate is forced beneath another as they converge at a plate boundary—anywhere near this region.

He recalls his moment of inspiration: “The ‘aha!’ moment for me was thinking, how about we link this process of geological ...

First, the populations become physically separated, often by a long, slow geological process like an uplift of land, the movement of a glacier, or formation of a body of water. Next, the separated ...

Dating key tectonic events in Japan's geological history has long been often challenging due to poor microfossil preservation from intense heat due to metamorphism. Researchers tackled this by using ...

Researchers develop a novel methodology called Roughness-CANUPO-Dip-Facet (R-C-D-F), which leverages machine learning to ...

Scientists have discovered a way to produce ammonia—a key ingredient in fertilizers—by harnessing the Earth’s heat and ...
