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 ...

This part of the planet plays a crucial role in shaping surface features like mountains and volcanoes, and it drives plate tectonics through slow-moving convection currents. Scientists have long ...

The scientists discovered that this global thaw may have also had unexpected consequences—including for plate tectonics, or the internal clockwork that has, for billions of years, torn Earth’s ...

Southern California is seismically active due to its location on tectonic plate boundaries, having experienced major quakes like the 1994 Northridge event. A strong but shallow earthquake with a ...

Researchers have found a candidate for the hypothetical Planet Nine, which could be an undiscovered giant planet way out in our solar system. However, as with all ninth planet research, the new ...
