Seismologists Discover Hidden Faults Beneath One of the U.S.'s Biggest Earthquake Hotspots ...

Geology, characterized as the study of the Earth, its layers, and its minerals, has shaped the Imperial Valley for millions ...

A tectonic plate that disappeared under North America millions of years ago still peeks out in central California and Mexico, new research finds. The Farallon oceanic plate was once nestled between ...

A new study has confirmed a longstanding theory that Earth's crust tilted to the side, and eventually back again, around 84 million years ago. Most major geological events in Earth's recent history ...

A tectonic plate that disappeared under North America millions of years ago still peeks out in central California and Mexico, new research finds. The Farallon oceanic plate was once nestled between ...

Ancient plate tectonics in the Archean period differs from modern plate tectonics in the Phanerozoic period because of the higher mantle temperatures inside the early Earth, the thicker basaltic crust ...

Structural geology is the discipline devoted to the study of rock deformation and the resulting features – such as folds, faults, joints and other discontinuities – that record the history of tectonic ...

New finding contradicts previous assumptions about the role of mobile plate tectonics in the development of life on Earth. Moreover, the data suggests that 'when we're looking for exoplanets that ...

The earth and geologic time. Earth materials -- Geologic time -- Plate tectonics -- Southern California through geologic time. Overview of the geologic history of Southern California -- Proterozoic ...

This study is led by Prof. Yong-Fei Zheng at University of Science and Technology of China. It focuses on the development of tectonic processes along convergent plate margins through inspection of ...

Geoscientists have discovered a new process in plate tectonics which shows that tremendous damage occurs to areas of Earth's crust long before it should be geologically altered by known plate-boundary ...

In 2016, the geochemists Jonas Tusch and Carsten Münker hammered a thousand pounds of rock from the Australian Outback and airfreighted it home to Cologne, Germany. Five years of sawing, crushing, ...
