Paradoxically, the fact that Pierce is home to two potentially groundbreaking clean energy projects is largely because of its ...

On a gusty day in February, Ben Burke and Johanna Ostrum toured Jennings 1, an idle oil well in Pierce. Hemmed in by a fence ...

Plate tectonics (from the Greek τέκτων; tektōn, meaning "builder" or "mason") describes the large scale motions of Earth's lithosphere. The theory encompasses the older concepts of ...

Seismic waves from earthquakes have always offered a window into Earth’s hidden interior. For decades, researchers believed ...

New research suggests melting ice sheets are warming global temperatures which may speed up continental drift, creating ...

Scientists have recently found new seismic data that shows that the Indian tectonic plate isn’t just sliding under the Eurasian plate as once believed, it’s actually splitting in two deep ...

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 ...

Watch the Earth's tectonic plates grow, shrink, and jostle for position in this new model of the last billion years on the ...

Learn how a computer simulation demonstrates that tectonic activity may be less slow and steady than previously thought.

The discovery highlights the significant role of lithospheric structures in influencing tectonic plate movement and suggests microcontinents are more common than previously believed. A major ...

Nadi Plates currently has two popular food trucks, a catering business and a stall at the newly opened Food Truck Alley at American Family Field. A forthcoming restaurant will open this fall in ...
