Our planet has an outer layer made up of several plates, which move relative to one another. While we may take this knowledge for granted, this theory of plate tectonics was only formulated in the ...
Learn about the movement of tectonic plates off the coast of northern California, a process that could incite major ...
What appears to be three tectonic plates in a map may act like five pieces that move underground. Northern California ...
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 ...
Researchers have examined tiny time capsules found in the oldest-known crystals in an attempt to settle a question that divides scientists: when did Earth’s tectonic plates begin to move? Plate ...
Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth's crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move. Researchers had previously identified ...
Africa’s future coastline might look a lot different...millions of years from now, that is. Scientists tracking tectonic activity along the East African Rift say the continent is slowly splitting ...
Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...
Venus, a scorching wasteland of a planet according to scientists, may have once had tectonic plate movements similar to those believed to have occurred on early Earth, a new study found. PROVIDENCE, R ...
Scientists have discovered a new layer of partly molten rock under the Earth's crust that might help settle a long-standing debate about how tectonic plates move. The molten layer is located about 100 ...
