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

Plate tectonics is geology’s Theory of Everything. The realisation in the 1960s that Earth’s crust is made of fragments ...

This early rocky shell featured chemical signatures previously thought to occur only in continental crusts made by the ...

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 ...

Recent discoveries offer deeper insight into the movement of tectonic plates. New research has found that variations in rock ...

New research suggests that Earth's first crust, formed over 4.5 billion years ago, already carried the chemical traits we ...

Scientists have discovered an unusually thick mantle transition zone beneath the Lesser Antilles. This discovery sheds new light on how oceanic plates sink into the Earth's mantle. Variations ...

Continental clues: Modern continental rocks carry chemical signatures from the very start of our planet’s history, challenging current theories about plate tectonics. Researchers have made a new ...

A recent study challenges the long-held belief of the Indian plate smoothly sliding under the Eurasian plate. Seismic data ...

Indian tectonic plate is splitting beneath the Himalayas, revealing a dramatic twist in Earth's tectonic history, scientists ...

A rare geological process is tearing the Indian Plate apart deep beneath the surface, scientists have discovered. In a study ...
