Scientists uncover hidden land under Iceland, questioning our understanding of Earth's continents and tectonic plates.

Research on hidden structures deep within Earth’s mantle challenges theories about our planet’s middle layer and could ...

Deep beneath the Earth’s surface, a monumental geological event is unfolding. Scientists from the University of Göttingen have discovered that the Neotethys oceanic plate, once the ocean floor between ...

A subset of these planetesimals then accreted to form the Earth, which, over several hundred million years, formed a crust consisting of mobile tectonic plates that hosted the first biosphere. Dr. Fu ...

The modern understanding of the plate tectonic cycle predicts that remnants of submerged plates will be found near subduction zones. However, a new high-resolution model shows that these remnants ...

This flow is what drives the movement of tectonic plates on Earth’s surface, causing earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the shifting of continents. Heat from the Earth’s core causes convection ...

This area is a hotspot for seismic activity due to the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, a process that's been shaping the Himalayas for the past 60 million years.
