Tibetan uplift was mainly caused by post-collisional mantle dynamics, not ongoing India-Asia convergence. The study ...

Scientists have uncovered one of the most exciting geological discoveries of the decade – the long-lost Pontus tectonic plate ...

Africa is currently experiencing geological processes that could eventually lead to the separation of the Somali Peninsula ...

Scientists believe that the motion of Earth's continents through plate tectonics has been largely steady over millions of years. New research, however, suggests this drift can speed up or slow down ...

reshaping our understanding of plate tectonics. Recent discoveries offer deeper insight into the movement of tectonic plates. New research has found that variations in rock composition within oceanic ...

Although the Caribbean is well-known for its sunshine and beaches, it now has a new claim to fame in the world of plate tectonics." "It's wild to think that in some ways tectonic plates have a ...

Researchers have discovered that the underside of the North American continent is dripping away in blobs of rock—and that the remnants of a tectonic plate sinking in Earth's mantle may be the ...

Plate tectonics is relatively new, put forth in the last 30 years or so — its forerunner was the now-discarded continental drift theory. The theory states that Earth's outer shell is made up of ...
