A reappraisal of decades-old data suggests that strange circular formations on Venus could be volcanic “rings of fire” ...

Vast, quasi-circular features on Venus's surface may reveal that the planet has ongoing tectonics, according to new research ...

Using archival data from the mission, launched in 1989, researchers have uncovered new evidence that tectonic activity may be ...

Geoscientists from the University of Toronto have made a breakthrough discovery that adds new dimensions to the theory of ...

Plate tectonics is geology’s Theory of Everything. The realisation in the 1960s that Earth’s crust is made of fragments called plates—and that these plates can grow, shrink and move around ...

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 ...

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 ...
