Here's What'll Happen When Plate Tectonics Grinds to a Halt. A new study says we may only have another 1.45 billion years to enjoy the dynamic action of Earth’s geologic engine.

Scientists discover hidden "ghost plume" beneath Oman using earthquake data, revealing Earth's secret heat pathways.

By analysing how the Earth's plates moved in the past, the researchers concluded that the Dani plume likely arrived during ...

Scientists have been baffled to discover solid rock flowing 1,700 miles (2,700km) beneath the Earth's surface.

It’s surprising to find remnants of a plate that we just didn’t know about at all,” Suzanna van de Lagemaat, the Utrecht University geologist whose work has reversed decades of conventional wisdom ...

The birth of a behemoth. The planet’s tectonic plates are in constant motion, reshaping the surface as they pull apart and collide. The Himalaya are the dramatic result of one such tectonic ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels have increased more or less in parallel over the past 540 million years, suggesting ...

Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives underneath another, drive the world’s most devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. How do these danger zones come to be? A study in Geology ...

Tectonic plates move because of convection currents in the mantle. Heat from Earth’s core causes the semi-molten rock in the mantle to flow, dragging the plates above them.

Imagine discovering a set of footprints on a remote beach, only to later find an identical set thousands of miles away. This is exactly what happened to a team of paleontologists, who uncovered ...

Biswas, R., Afikuzzaman, M., Mondal, M. and Ahmmed, S.F. (2018) MHD Free Convection and Heat Transfer Flow through a Vertical Porous Plate in the Presence of Chemical Reaction. Frontiers in Heat and ...
