Venus is a Victim of a Rampant Greenhouse Effect Venus's atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse ...

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers have reconstructed the geological past of the region, uncovering a ...

Earth’s surface is constantly shifting, shaped by the slow but powerful movement of tectonic plates. While some plates have ...

A breakthrough study has provided the most detailed 3D look yet at the inner workings of the Tonga Subduction Zone, where ...

High-Resolution Anisotropic Tomography Reveals Mantle Flow Complexity and Slab-Plume Interactions, Redefining Subduction Zone ...

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 ...

A new ocean is being created in East Africa through changes in the tectonic plates -- huge segments of the Earth’s crust that move on top of the semi-fluid mantle underneath -- in the Afar ...

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 ...

The 4.0 magnitude earthquake had its epicentre at Jheel Park region near Dhaula Kuan and the shallow focal depth made citizens in nearby areas hear loud sounds as the earth shifted slightly this ...

The movement of tectonic plates determines the arrangement of the continents, and they’re constantly in motion. A new video combines a wealth of data and condenses it into a 40-second animation ...
