Scientists estimate it will take at least 5 to 10 million years for the Afar region to be fully submerged. When that happens, ...
A research team is investigating the influence of the Zagros Mountains on the bending of Earth's surface. A team of ...
The good news is that because the top of the volcano is still 4,500 feet below the ocean’s surface, it poses no danger to ...
Nobody knew what they are, and whether they are only a temporary phenomenon, or if they have been sitting there for millions ...
Scientists uncover hidden land under Iceland, questioning our understanding of Earth's continents and tectonic plates.
Researchers have challenged the long-held belief that Earth has seven continents, asserting instead that there are only six.
Continent-size islands deep inside Earth's mantle could be more than a billion years old, a new study finds.
A lurch in the Earth’s tectonic plates can wreak havoc at any time – as we’ve just seen in Vanuatu. How do scientists measure quakes, and are we doing enough to prepare?
The outermost layer of Earth, the lithosphere, is composed of solid rock and is broken into large sections called tectonic plates. These plates fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.
An earthquake expert at Kyoto University said Monday's tremor could have occurred where tectonic plates meet. Assistant Professor Yamashita Yusuke of Kyoto University's Disaster Prevention ...
Researchers have discovered evidence suggesting that the Indian tectonic plate may be splitting apart beneath the surface, particularly in the region near Tibet. This finding has sparked discussions ...
The two plates then began sliding towards each other. As the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates converged, a slow collision became geologically inevitable. This collision presented two possible ...
