How moving tectonic plates and rising heat from deep within Earth created one of the ocean’s largest canyons. On land, giant canyons like the Grand Canyon are usually the slow handiwork of rivers that ...

A study on tectonic plates that converge on the Tibetan Plateau has shown that Earth's fault lines are far weaker and the ...

New satellite data shows Tibet’s plates flow like a liquid. India-Eurasia collision pushes eastern Tibet eastward by up to 25 ...

“You can see a bit at the surface, but you have to figure out what is the configuration underneath,” what the configuration of the faults of Northern California is like, is what causes the most ...

The King's Trough Complex is a several-hundred-kilometer-long, canyon-like system of trenches on the North Atlantic seafloor.

What appears to be three tectonic plates in a map may act like five pieces that move underground. Northern California ...

Salameh, E. and Tarawneh, A. (2026) Tectonic Structures and Their Consequential Nontectonic Deformations —The Case of the ...

The White House-led by Donald Trump has ramped up efforts to pressure Denmark into seceding Greenland to the US.

New research highlights the complex relationship between Earth's tectonic plate movements and climate shifts. Contrary to prior belief, mid-ocean ridges and continental rifts significant influence ...

A massive geological rift is tearing one of Earth’s largest continents in two, faster than scientists once believed.

Researchers have identified an ancient tectonic fragment, the Pioneer fragment, buried under the coast, which may exacerbate earthquake hazards associated with the San Andreas and Cascadia faults.

“This new insight not only reshapes our understanding of past climates but also helps refine future climate models,” Dr. Mather said. By pairing global plate tectonic reconstructions with carbon-cycle ...
