Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

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 ...

Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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