For millions of years, Earth’s shifting plates have shaped continents, formed oceans, and built towering mountain ranges. But ...

Plate tectonics is geology’s Theory of Everything. The realisation in the 1960s that Earth’s crust is made of fragments called plates—and that these plates can grow, shrink and move around ...

Frank Zwaan, a scientist in the Geodynamic Modeling section at GFZ Helmholtz Center for Geosciences, present an answer to this question: using plate tectonic modeling, they found that mountain ...

Research unveils a new theory about the origin of the Great Lakes, challenging what we know about their age and formation.

This study out of the University of Houston points to a new theory that as North America began to split away, the Great Lakes ...

Massive mantle formations, called LLSVPs, have been found to be over a billion years old. These structures, sitting 3,000 km beneath the surface, slow seismic waves, indicating unique physical and ...

These findings have important implications for understanding strain energy distribution and perhaps dissipation minimization within the plate tectonic system. While a comprehensive theory is still ...

Scientists with a new theory about how Earth’s early continents formed predicted where a superold impact crater should ...

South Carolina has high seismic activity despite not being on a plate boundary. Scientists still don't know the answer for ...

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake in Delhi, with an epicenter near Dhaula Kuan, was caused by regional geological variations rather than plate tectonics, according to experts. The shallow depth led to strong ...
