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

The film discusses the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift, explaining how the Earth's surface has changed over time. It highlights the concept of tectonic plates moving due to convection ...

The Earth’s surface is constantly shifting, though at a pace so slow we rarely notice. But if we fast-forward 250 million ...

Despite all the deep-sea expeditions and samples taken from the seabed over the past 100 years, humans still know very little ...

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

Explore the significance of the Wallace Line, a crucial biogeographical boundary that separates Asian and Australasian ...

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more ...

Tectonic plates map. Earthquakes are common along the red lines that are the plate boundaries ... The last significant earthquake to shake up the region was Bowen’s 5.8 tremor in 2016 Dr Waszek also ...

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

One place this happens is at the boundaries of tectonic plates, which are the huge pieces of crust that fit together like puzzle pieces and cover the surface of the planet. At places where two ...

The interluding minor tremors between major events break the momentum, preventing a sudden and bigger release of energy, according to experts monitoring the movements of tectonic plates.

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 ...
