Scientists have produced the first global map and analysis of small mare ridges (SMRs) on the moon, a characteristic geological feature of tectonic activity. Published in The Planetary Science Journal ...

New satellite data shows Tibet’s crust flows like liquid, with eastern Tibet moving eastward up to 25 mm per year due to India-Eurasia collision. This challenges old tectonic theories and may impact ...

With less water in the lakes, especially Lake Turkana, it has become easier for the great rift beneath to move.

It was a groundbreaking discovery. Scientists have found previously concealed fault lines along California’s north coast, sparking concerns that we could be drastically underestimating the earthquake ...

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 ...

Carbon released from Earth's spreading tectonic plates, not volcanoes, may have triggered major transitions between ancient ice ages and warm climates, new research finds. Published in Communications ...

“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 ...

ARC Early Career Industry Fellow, School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, The University of Melbourne Ben Mather receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Adriana Dutkiewicz ...

An earthquake-generating chunk of tectonic plate has been discovered beneath Northern California. It’s attached to the bottom of the North American plate like gum stuck to a shoe. Using abundant, tiny ...

Scientists are uncovering hidden secrets beneath one of North America’s most dangerous earthquake zones by listening to swarms of tiny, almost undetectable earthquakes. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

The Mendocino Triple Junction off the coast of Northern California is the point where three tectonic plates meet. A new study reveals at least five moving pieces deep below the Earth's surface make up ...
