For millions of years, Earth’s moving plates have sculpted continents, carved oceans, and built massive mountain ranges. Yet ...

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 ...

Nepal 2015 earthquake was a wake up call for a country that is situated on a dangerous geological faultline, where the Indian tectonic plate collides with the Eurasian plate to form the Himalayas.

This early rocky shell featured chemical signatures previously thought to occur only in continental crusts made by the process of subduction, in which one tectonic plate slides under another.

It’s mostly solid rock, moving under extreme pressure, and heat.The planet’s continents and ocean floors are constantly being pushed and pulled.They're divided into seven major tectonic plates ...
